Looking up

Life is pretty good at the moment. I'm doing okay at work and I have the freedom to travel back to Sweden when kind of suits me. I don't need to ask for holiday, just decide when is best for me and go.

I'm really looking forward to go up to the north of Sweden to see my baby brother in about one and a half week. And I'm really looking forward to the layover I do in Stockholm where I get to have dinner with my dad and stepmum.

Next Sunday is my birthday, and I am happy that I can afford going to the restaurant I want to go to. These things I appreciate a lot. Not having to worry that I can't pay rent, or that we this month got two bills for over 200 pounds would have to make me not eat what I want for two weeks. 

I feel that those hard days are over for me. I'm not saying I will never have struggling days in my life. But right now I feel that I am on top of it, looking back on 4 years where treating myself wasn't often an opportunity. 

I am turning 25 next Sunday and I feel more independent than ever. I am looking upwards and I'll see new goals and new struggles, but this time I get to eat what I want on the way.
