Just back from the apartment hunt. And... I'm finally settled!

Got a decent apartment for myself, not far from the previous one, though much closer to the bus stop. A nice lady from the agency that deals with places of living in any way helped us look and showed us quite a few options. I settled for the one I did because it's by the trolleybus line, and I like that because trolleys are electric transport. The apartment has the Soviet feel, but it's cozy.

Boy, that's weeks of worries over. I'm glad I'm through. I must thank my sister for helping out with this: it was her who gave us the number of the nice rentmaster lady. Moving in next week, which means I get to spend a month less with my parents - a victory. (dear Christ, do they talk shit on the road)

Been shifting to what I call the "buddhist mind" lately. I come to accept the fact that I really don't know the world, so I can't judge people around me, whether I have solid reason to or not. It's a good life, and by focusing on the bad stuff one only gets the bad stuff. I feel like it comes from the place of love for life (which I've talked about recently), which I appreciate to come to embrace. My worries, it seems, were for nothing: all I had to do is to flip a switch in my head that says "I accept the power and the responsibility of living".
