I swear this is not the stock photo of Trondheim that airBaltic uses.
it’s been one full year
of being the child who lives abroad
üksik kaksik
for those who don’t know
hello, stranger – wanna be friends?
Norway was not a random choice
there’s two sides
to this cashless country
✨
first, many moons ago
we were born in Norway
(I’m two of two)
we lived here for two years
went to kindergarten here
I spoke this language
to my family and friends
until we moved back home
and the rest is history
until at the end of 2022
I made an unconscious choice
to start looking for a job in Norway
honestly, I do not know why
maybe living in Stockholm for two months
scarred me more
than just triggering a burnout
but that was years ago now, right?
so to answer your question
yes, I am here to get
the citizenship I deserve
no, Estonia still does not accept doubles
ask me again in 7 years
•
second, the dream
I want an ocean view
and a mountain to look at it
I’m sorry Estonia, but you don’t have either
delusional as I was
I really-really thought
Iceland was the one
maybe that’s why I tried so hard
as outlined in past posts
I applied to every IT company there
but maybe it was never meant to be
as I found out when darkness arrived
Iceland is still my happy place
and I will go there even now
that I’ve introduced my mom to it
I have more family members
in other news, Norway
is actually the land of fjords
which is literally
a deep inlet of the sea between high cliffs
the Estonian education system
clearly failed on me on that topic
and even though the darkness
in Iceland was the hardest to bear
here I am in Trondheim
the same latitude as the former
but at least I have a job, here
and an apartment for myself
and yes, it’s not all
lust ja lillepidu
but I think I’m staying here
and my mom said that’s okay
igaks jaanipäevaks tulen koju ❤
