hi friend,

idk why it feels like so long since i last shared a vlog with you, i guess this is why today's update is super long! i happen to like longer videos in general though, so perhaps it will be a more frequent thing with my vlogs. although, towards the end of this vlog i felt like i was rushing through everything because i was tired of editing lollll so no promises.

i have been living alone again for the past few weeks, but i took a quick trip to seattle to visit some friends and family. it's been over a decade since i've been in seattle (that's where i was born and grew up for the early part of my childhood!) so it was surreal seeing it with fresh eyes. most of what i had remembered of it had a nostalgia filter over it. i was able to make new, happy memories in it upon revisiting :)

i felt super happy after my trip and in general have been trying to appreciate the quality time i have with my friends and family. living alone gets me lonely fast, but i am learning to cope with the ways of life by being more social and active in that regard haha.

take care,
annika

p.s. how is it already august!! time sucks!!
