Wherever you go

Typing this on a Sunday morning after being awake for two hours now. It's nice to finally just get a breather since work's been kicking my butt the past few weeks. Can't believe it's almost fall already, time definitely goes by fast, yet at some point, it seems to be really slow at the same time.

I had a good summer overall, my family from Norway visited the U.S. It was nice to see them again after five years, and I'm making it a point of not letting that long of a gap happen again. It was nice just spending time with them, taking them sightseeing, walking around the city, and just staying at home, doing whatever we please. During their stay, we went to Florida as well to visit my aunt and uncle. Went to see some military museums, and hit the beach. I was seriously surprised I got sunburned, I didn't think it applies to me haha

The family left but my grandma ended up staying with me for almost a month. She was supposed to stay in FL but preferred my place more so that was that. Then two weeks in, my cousin ended up coming here to the area to move. We've been sharing my place for about a month now, and though it works, we definitely need a bigger place. Been looking for places, but won't really get to move for another month or two. With that happening, I'm pretty much staying put in DC for a few more years at least.

I'm working on some things to make my living here better with that in mind. I actually like the area but sometimes I forget, when I get bogged down with stuff and thinking a move will make things better. But then, I realize that what I'm trying to change are external factors when I need to look within and really work on myself. Like what's said, wherever you go, there you are so I can move to a place that I think will make me happy, but I still will be carrying the same thoughts.
