Rough cuts, 2016
This year I:
- started seeing someone,
- went to the US did a road trip and cruise, probably the most fun in my life,
- got back enamoured with the USA,
- decided I was through with Oxford,
- my grandfather got sick so I was back to Portugal for a while,
- really decided USA is a bad idea because this kind of family situations and being very far away... not good,
- then I came back, stopped seeing that woman,
- started seeing someone else very shortly after (mistake),
- went to Dublin for the first time and fell in love with the city for a weekend,
- quit smoking,
- felt Brexit turning my opinion about the UK,
- further explored the idea that I'm through with Oxford, maybe with England entirely,
- went back to Portugal and christened my goddaughter,
- back to the UK,
- saw Portugal win the Euro and thought "man, the UK does really suck",
- then back to Portugal to be the best man at my friends' wedding,
- realised that no, returning to a life in Portugal is not the answer,
- back to the UK,
- shortly after that I stopped seeing this second woman, that ran its course and it was over,
- my perspective about the UK started to change again, but for the better,
- then I started thinking about alternative places to live and alternative jobs to take,
- started taking my full bike license,
- ramped up exercise,
- started cooking more,
- picked up meditation,
- revamped my blog.
