Cashier : Thank you for the purchase.
Me : Thank you.
Really dislike these awkward situations, ugh.
Anyway, flights booked, most of the accommodations have been booked, so I'm definitely looking forward to it. Also, I need to put reminders for me to take my medications on time without having to miss a day because of the long haul flight.
Reborrowed the introvert book that I just finished and I'm just working on a post with all my essentials notes taken from the book,it's gonna take a while because right now I'm only half way through the book.
On other news, I think I can finally see a bit of weight loss because my bermuda shorts are feeling loose when I wore it today,but I didn't notice that before, so I think that's good news haha

Europe Trip!
So it's set, tickets for the trip to Europe is booked. 23/10/18 depart for Berlin, spend 2 nights, then to paris for another 2 nights, then to amsterdam for another 2 nights (I have two uncles in paris and amsterdam,so hopefully they'll be around to stay in their house), then to bergen for 4 nights, then to oslo for another 2 nights, and will be leaving oslo on the 7/11/18. Accomodations not yet booked so far, and flight from paris to bergen not yet booked too.
Now, I hope this will be a better trip with my parents since now I've learnt more about myself and how to take better care. Most importantly though,is that I need private space to retreat to,and that is the accommodation. That's why I prefer accommodations without having to share space with others. I know I did it in the past,but I just didn't know what I want,but now I do.

My therapist might want to make more frequent sessions since the last session few days ago made me discover that I'm still quite lacking in relationship skills, by that, I meant to communicate with my parents and giving/offering and willing to accept and to take. I know I know, I can put this issue as me being too passive, but being more proactive is something I am working on. All I know is, somehow my lack of chatter with my parents made me teared up during my therapy on wednesday,and it's the first time I teared up this year. I am however able to open up more to my friends instead,but that's only because they're around my age too, and I told my therapist that perhaps there's an age gap and so interests can be very different and starting conversations can be difficult. Yeah, I just need more time to finish my book and then complete my post about introversion and then share it with my family so they understand.
So on a related note, this topic of relationship with my parents was brought up because I told my therapist that my parents were asking if I wanted to go on a trip with them to Europe. I said I'll think about it, and told my therapist my worries. In a nutshell, I just have to consider what's the worst that could happen, as well as giving in to some of their interests from time to time because we're going somewhere new,where people might not understand english (but I doubt it) as well as going to visit my uncles in Amsterdam and Paris. Since my parents are going on the 24 oct to 8 nov, I was thinking of joining them and going on my own trip after, but I don't know.
One of the chapters in the book I'm reading talks about acknowledging my desires (i.e. whether they're harmful or not) and doing something about it to fulfill my needs. I know I fantasize a lot, but since I know I can write whatever I want here without judgement, I'm just going to go ahead and say this : I secretly hope to meet Oana wherever she is in Europe (if she's still there) and perhaps even go on a short trip. Obviously this is just a fantasy, I know in reality it's different. 1) No contact with her 2) No free time/don't want to meet 3) Still mad at me. Either way, I just burst my own fantasy bubble. Whatever, at least I need to get grounded to reality of life,instead of continuing to live in my dreams. This paragraph hasn't been easy to write about, and it's late and I'm tired,so I'll call it a night and leave it for another day to find more courage to open up.
