I decided I should finally relocate from Russia. As one of the people I value much once said, it’s not about grass being greener, it’s about grass being alive.

I’m not going to buy a property here. Instead, I do this all at the same time:

- fixing my health (eye surgery done, quit smoking half a year ago, quit sugar several months ago, now through dental care and an obesity treatment with newest novo-nordisk stuff and sports, so far so good)

- gaining some momentum (newsletter launched, articles and open source stuff are published on a regular basis, it all gonna assembly to make my new website and a v2.0 media presence)

- learning (hands-on management and a11y experience on my current job as a tech evangelist, also a11y courses, bleeding edge JavaScript and css)

- saving money. Fuck rouble, just converting everything into usd covers up all commissions and taxes and basically makes me money

I’m going to accomplish all this and finally relocate.

Being attached to my city is a bias and a mind game. I just need to leave.

    @kiki props for the braveness! Where do you think you'll go? Do you have connections?

    Europe is a pretty solid place to go i think, but anywhere you go, friends will make it feel like home 🙂

    Not to get political, but the US dollar might not be the best choice. It fluctuates a lot around elections, and this one was a doozy.

    @Root Thanks! Sorry tho, I forgot to tag you.

    Sometimes I feel like I’ll never finish no matter what I do. Such thoughts appear in my head when I’m walking home (“you’ll never reach home, you’ll be walking forever”), when I’m crafting something, when I’m working. The year of order has a dedicated measures to compensate for such chemical imperfections, such as well-defined progress plans and strict logging of what has been done so far.

    Strictness sometimes can help even if one have a mental condition.
