Four years ago we were packing our stuff in our temporary home to move to our new home. We moved out of our Haarlem apartment at the beginning of June and moved to a little hunter’s cottage in Germany for about six weeks. We were finally making our long overdue dream come true, moving to a quiet village, far away from the busiest part of the Netherlands.
We were talking about moving somewhere quiet for years and I’ve reached a point where I thought it will stay at that. Talking, dreaming, escaping to the perfect places during our holidays. But we did it and we’ve never regretted this decision.
There’s another dream I was hoping to make true together with this move, but I’m still not there. But this summer is strange (I’m not talking about the weather), it makes me feel all the feels (mostly anger), it makes me more determined to make this dream reality. I still don’t know how, but maybe it’s time to stop thinking about the how, to stop keeping the dream in the talking about it stage? I’m scared to act on it, but I also know that I should listen to the anger and frustration I’m feeling right now. Maybe it’s looking for the how that is causing it? Maybe action is easier than figuring it out? I’m full of questions, with no answers. But do I really need them?
