February 27th. It’s been a while since I’ve updated my learning progress. I’m currently working on lesson 34/60 and have 3 months left. I’ve found a way to work faster on it, which is great. I go to the library every workday and make just one lesson instead of one full day of struggeling through it, that didn’t work for me. But a lot of things have happened this last month so unfortunately I’m not as far as I hoped to be. I got sick again, had a great time at (Dutch) carnaval and then my aunt passed away suddenly. I’ve taken time to mourn with family and now I want to try to go back to normal life again. Sitting at home doing nothing won’t help me deal with it, but I will also take it slow and make room for my feelings and emotions to take the space and time they need. This is your reminder that life happens while we are busy making plans, so it’s perfectly fine if your study plan, your life plans or any other plan you made don’t work out the way you wanted it. Plans can be remade, your mental and physical health matter most.

“Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes. Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more. You’re doing just fine.”
