@queenflorence replied to your post “the 32686th post like this you’ll see this month”

my twitter is @tequilda but i'm 100% figure skating so idk if you're interested lmao

it’s always fun to see people be enthusiastic about things, even when they’re things i don’t know much about! 

((also my baby sister does synchro skating so i’ve been to watch VM when that was in sthlm haha. no solo skating tho, and i’m assuming that’s your area of interest :P)) 

[wyrneck]

Honestly tho, lately I've had like a craving to travel somewhere far off, alone. But due to my anxiety I wanna go somewhere I'm familiar with and the only alternative I'm comfortable with is sthlm. So I thought "hey, maybe I should check out if anything happens there during/after summer that I'd really like to see!"

Aaaand I just found out that my favorite band (WALK THE MOON for anyone interested) is going to play there in like two weeks. And, for soneone that works 4/6 weekends, this fucking happens on one of the few weekends that I'm fully free on?! Like the perfect setup for me to go, buuuuut then there is the catch. Money.

Like, I have the money Barely, but I already had to take from my savings the last couple of months (so like, my expenses are already greater this month than my salary). I'm currently saving because... it's good to have emergency money? And my sister wants us to have a buffer so she can quit her nightmare of a job this summer and start studying. And I'm also saving to go to a rock festival this summer (so concerts are happening). So like, I don't know if I have enough of a motive to go? Or to not go? And it's not that I'm asking for money (god knows I wouldn't accept that knowing how many people actually needs it more), just want to get the thoughts out of my head.
