How to build a space you want to live in

It is a privilege to talk about difficult and important topics with people that know you and understand you. This is a discussion between me and my university friend, Solo, about what it means to find your feet in a new city. In this case, it's Cape Town. I really appreciated his insights on everything from the idiosyncrasies of a new place to the wild dreams of what life could be when you commit to stepping outside of your comfort zone. Here are some of my key takeouts Good things take time Make use of the small opportunities Build a space you want to be and live in Change is difficult but is also an opportunity to learn about yourself You never know how long you will be in a space Also, after this conversation, I bought a couch a year after moving in. I'm left asking myself who I want to be and how to support myself in getting there with more kindness and self-compassion.
