A new home

Congrats on the new home!

Sweden to Malta is quite the relocation. Congrats. I'm happy to hear life is being good to you.

Anyway, best of luck out there. Keep an eye out for the memelord himself, grandayy.

Wow, that looks and sounds pretty nice. Best wishes!

Looks like a lovely place to live. Congrats on the move.

Thanks, you all. Kimilil, that video brings back memories! A friend showed it to me 17-18 years ago and I had forgotten about it until now

So cool!! <3

Congratulations. You deserve the best on your life!

I'm honestly happy to hear you're getting along with Malta so well! For others, moving abroad might be quite daunting of a task, but it seems you blew that phase right out, and I'm glad it's been pleasant so far! That dinner looks scrummy too. Gotta love must...

And about the whole leaving Sweden part, I must say it's funny that when you wrote this initially, I was in Stockholm.
Coming from Romania, I must admit I absolutely loved the country, and I believe it might just draw me in enough to get me to move there someday...

Wonderful folks, spent an amazing Julafton with some swede pals and was treated to some tasty national dishes as well.

Point being, life's just one big cycle of differences, ain't it? Enjoy your new life in Malta, and I hope for many happy memories and, most importantly, health!

And now begins the era of Maltese triple-A software domination.

Congratulations on the move. Life is full of surprises, and it's best to take advantage of the opportunities before you settle down with a family.

Thanks ❤️ It's been another month here and I feel so calm and content... it feels almost like first love.

Unfortunately I won't be starting any family in the future, unless you count a family of two (🤞). I love kids and I am a proud uncle, but I know my limits and I may be capable of being a good partner, friend, brother, son, uncle... But I don't have it in me to be the father a child deserves. It's alright though. I get to enjoy the freedom of doing whatever and going wherever, when I feel like it, and to have more time and energy for all the people in my life. A small part of me wishes things were different... But I am glad for the life I get to live, childless.

SSC_TAS, you should give it a try if you can. Sweden isn't right for me (except in the summer, then it's lovely), but a lot of people love it. I have many immigrant friends back in Sweden who do - I'll never understand why. There's one major downside to keep in mind (other than the climate), in both the Nordics and the German-speaking parts of Europe, many people, especially immigrants, struggle making friends. The natives aren't as open to strangers as most other Europeans and a lot of people are happy just keeping the same friends they've had since school. So if you're introvert it can be tough making local friends. That said, it might be the perfect place for you

Hey Oskar, thanks for the insight It's been a while jeez, I can't believe I talked here 7 months ago and completely forgot about it!

Hope you're being treated by the delights of your life in Malta! I do wonder how the weather's been treating you... Personally I'm sick of Romania's heat waves ( 35°C+ on a regular basis. And no wind.) But on a brighter side, I just came fresh from a trip to Gothenburg (Yuhtehbuory is my personal phonetical translation), so I can compare what you said to what I felt!

First of all, yes the weather was lovely during the summer, although I did get soaked two times, it's the Western coast after all. Next, while I didn't necessarily stick around long enough to try and make friends, I can at least say these people are hella nice, mainly because I had the pleasure of sticking around the family of a friend I met online. Can I just say that they've all been ever so nice to me It's unreal, like, they barely know me yet treat me like a close one! I might stay over at theirs the coming summer, as I want to get acquainted with the country anyway!

Anyhow, this is getting long, I might make my own journal to document my trip...just maybe.
