The process of adapting to a new home reminds me of the stages of accepting death, but inversely. From initial idealization of the place, followed by disappointments, resentments, maybe ever despair, and finally acceptance of the real combination of positive qualities and frustrating inability to get things done neither idealized nor demonized. We are pulling for you to land a success
thanks, friend. i see so much idealization of moving to spain, and there is a lot to idealize, for sure. no despair or resentments (yet?), definitely disappointments and frustrations, but oh so many joys too. like the post after this one, of experiencing harvesting and putting up olives. it's all together a full life <3
