Okay so in May I announced that I had planned to move to the UK, to possibly start a new stage of my life, I even kept saving some money every month to have the chance of actually renting an apartment, and then it came the time to actually check and make some numbers to predict how I would actually pull it off and how much I'd need to spend each month and... It's not looking good, not good at all.

First of all, UK visa is a mess, an expensive and complicated mess that I can't even afford to even pay, so I put my eyes on Ireland, a place like UK but I don't need a Visa, then I looked the prices of the apartments for rent over there and it... didn't look good at all.I'd have to either spend double the amount of money I make in a month to live near Dublin or I spend half the amount I make in a month for an appartment in the middle of practically nowhere. Things looked dire so I looked somewhere near where I live, some simple place for me to settle down and maybe live on my own, but nope. Everything is so expensive it'd be better for me to stay here where I am than to simply move out.

I'm not gonna lie, I feel deflated and a bit depressed, I really wanted to move out, start a new phase of my life and finally enjoy some space for myself, but in the end I got hit by a "Reality Check" that the damn home prices are so, so expensive I can't even get myself a small decent space.

This being said, I know I announced I'm going to live to the UK, but now I'm retracting my words and saying that I'm not going to even get out of my current appartment. I'm still going to the UK one month at a friend's house, whose identity I won't share, so that'll be something at least, the best place to make the next chapter of TLITD is by going to the country where it's based. I have planned to visit Swindon too! Maybe I'll meet Leena herself if I go there.
