Crossroads came faster than I thought, I have to make a choice within the next couple days about where I’m going.
The therapist sent me a txt last night she found me a place to stay, she told me it’s a very kind lady that rents a room in her home and also has an apartment for rent, the appt is taken for another month or two so she’s offering the room which is her son’s room when he visits.
It’s on the outskirt of a tiny village 10km from the fjord where I live. So if I choose this I need to commit very soon.
So here’s the choices I have:
Go live in Spain with my mom, it’s stable living space for free and gives me time to figure out my next move, but living in a brand new country is challenging and living with a parent also is challenging.
Go to a community farm in Norway, get active with lots of work, meet different people, live in nature and learn farming, but there is no stability of living space, it’s very uncertain how long I can stay there.
Follow the social help and therapist way, get my own place, receive psychological and financial support. The downside of this one is I will be more isolated than ever before, living in a small village with no one I know and completely alone, I also won’t have a car anymore. But at least I have a stable home and that gives me time to settle and figure out what to do next.
None of these choices feel good but I’m running out of time. My ex and her bf are moving in next week and it’s gonna be impossible for me to feel comfortable living here anymore. They passed by yesterday for an hour and it was unbearable, it shook me profoundly, the subconscious dynamics between us 3 were painfully obvious to me, they just want me out of here, I understand the guy but I expected more kindness and understanding from my ex, considering we had a great 6 years of fun and deep friendship, I feel she is not honoring it and doesn’t actually even feel like a friend anymore, it’s a hard truth to swallow.
So I’m really getting pressed like a lemon from all sides, I gotta go from here asap, it’s hard, I love my cat and I love living out in nature, going live in a small room somewhere is gonna be a rough transition.
I need to focus more and more on living in the moment so I don’t get too carried by anxious thoughts about the future. I have to let go of all judgements on myself and my life, it’s the only way I can start embracing and living it more fully.
I had flashes of pure presence yesterday while walking towards the fjord. It was after reading a buddhist quote about the fact that this present moment is always the most precious time in your life. I suddenly felt my whole self in the moment and realized that I am so complete and full of wisdom, for a few seconds I felt the wisdom of every life experience I ever had compressed and integrated in that moment, I felt powerful, very clear and at peace in the understanding that on some level I already know everything I need to know to move forward. I wish I could have greater access to this deep integrated state of being.
