I honestly did not know
because the salary I had was so low
but it did not matter
the company I worked for
helped me get all warm and cozy
in my apartment on top of the hill
with the ocean view
that 50% of my rent must be for
•
I unresided Estonia in March
landing in Trondheim with a snow storm
coming in cold
I started in a new country
new job, new people, all alone
back to muay thai on my first week
got overwhelmed of socializing in an office
for the first time in my life
(I started careering in March 2020)
but realized how much better
it could have been for so long

you’ve got to be kidding me, April
there are 4 seasons in one day
but those few other days
I went downhill
and cross country downhill skiing
the first of two times last year
baked a bunch of bread (b/p)roducts
watched the sun finally reach
inside my windows
and wore shorts for the first
13 degree summer-like day
went sailing for the first time
my fishing skills weren’t enough
to ever do that again
•
May might come again
but so will winter
and cabin trips are cozier
when covered in snow anyway
and a week later it’s so warm
we could pick up trash on a beach
and then one of the peaks
of all of last year: EUROVISION
it needs another post
but just for the record
I went to Liverpool, for the final
but missed the most important
national day of Norway
I will do anything in my power
to fix that mistake this year
I just need the flights to work out
•
June is just wonderful
sadly I wasn’t here for most of it
but the time I was
I went back to my childhood, to Ås
met my kindergarten best friend
who showed us around
the past and the present
realized I am too old for Tusenfryd
in 25 degrees heat
that is the Oslo area
then, a day before leaving Norway
went on a camping trip with colleagues
made porridge in front of the office
and then another peak: ICELAND
on the Laugavegur trail with my mom
where both of our wishes
were finally made true
followed by the midsommer promise
I did keep it last year
but tried to escape to Sweden for a day
the universe cancelled all my plans
so I went back home for
basically the third national day of Estonia
the Song and Dance celebration
watched the dancing in desert heat
and singing in a thunderstorm
another day to remember
•
July poured me with rain
back into the office
we had a social oating
porridge in front of the office
because social outings were disallowed
the flags were turning red-ish
not pink as for the Barbie movie
so I had an attempt at Cabin Office
there was no WiFi, that’s fine
but there was no electricity
because a proper cabin
is not in a cabin village
but a day of sunshine
in a week of rain
is enough to pitch a tent
and call it a home
I also got to roam around
a real Norwegian farm
experience a pig-washing
and found an oak in Trondheim
they don’t grow here, it’s too cold
I guess that’s why
the ice cream business is not thriving
and the Estonian folk dance group
is so very tiny
to be continued ✨
