Back again I guess?

Trying to write again, again! Don’t know where to start really. Broken the promise made to myself but oddly I’m not that disappointed. The drive to write is just not there or I’m too wrapped up in my head to write just like last time. Didn’t get to set a reminder like I said so kinda forgot- eh enough excuses.

Almost 3 months since I last wrote and oh the experiences in that time was just wonderful. The two weeks I’ve prepared to leave my home was brutal. I was excited but also really anxious and sad that I’m leaving my family and friends. It felt like “it’s gonna be great, I’m gonna meet new people and learn new things” but also “this is what I’ve wanted for the last 2 years, my dream is coming true why this is so sad, do I really wanna go?” So I made my farewell with my family and friends at the airport and boarded on a plane to Istanbul. I’m incredibly grateful for all my friends who were there in the airport. Appreciate all the love you guys.

Spent a night in Istanbul and that’s where it truly began. Flying over Turkey seeing the foreign city was just really new. It’s been 2 months since I came here in Budapest. For the first two weeks, it was culturally shocking, I could not sleep, I could not understand anything in Magyar but fortunately the weather was great and I fell in love with the city. The river, bridges, tall people, palaces and their great architecture and just overall everything about this city was gorgeous. It was like I’m in a movie. 2 months later, still as amazed as I was when I came here.

The classes are rather easier than expected, university is nice, teachers are not terrible but not great. Got a huge lectures with 100 plus people and I’m easily bored on those. One thing I really love about studying here is the diversity in the students. Just being in the same building with people all over the world is one of the reason that I’m grateful to be alive. Half a semester later, I’m not at all worried about my studies.

Dota’s not that big part of my life anymore, or at least I like to think so. I’m working on leaving my old habits, but it’s so hard. Playing dota is not any easier or enjoyable, it’s just a huge time waste. I thought I would get some closure by writing long ass stuff related to dota but that’s incredibly hard and I don’t know why it’s that hard... So I’ve given up on that altogether. Just need to find a better things spend my time on, eventually not gonna be spending as much time on dota anymore-hopefullly.

I red a book on self help. It’s the same usual stuff about how my life is all on my own hands, I gotta change the things and shit. Kinda want to re-evaluate my priorities then set attainable objective for the near future and put some effort to achieve them.

Riding is just incredibly convenient here! Literally everything about getting around with bike is different and easier than back home here. I was shockingly amazed. Rode through some gorgeously scenic routes. Not getting any faster but still going out almost everyday to ride, to sweat and don’t forget about the mental benefit of it too. Made a little trip to nearby lake and rode for the whole day. That was an awesome day. 170 km round trip, it’s so surreal to think that I went that much in one ride and I’m appreciative about what my body can achieve. It’s really sad that it’s getting colder outside and the motive to ride is falling with the weather. Oh did I mention I’m obsessed about falling and water? Want to get a job delivering food on bicycle so I’d get some reasoning to ride!

From now, I want to learn how to cook, learn some Hungarian, spend a less times on useless stuff, read a bit more and most importantly I just want to write. Write every idea that comes, every thought that crosses my mind.

That’s about everything for the last 3 months and I think it went quite well. Still trying to figure out who I wanna become so the next writings will probably be about future.

All the love.
