I woke up with a slight hangover. It's good to plan activities after a party early in the morning. When one has to start functioning as soon as possible, it's easier to overcome it.

I had breakfast with friends. It was quite a strange setting because we usually meet for evening activities. V arrived later because he had gone for a little 19km run before breakfast (crazy 🙃). I realized, that many of my hometown friends come from a similar context. Maybe it could be called the "OG Liberec lifestyle" – which consists of cycling, running, cross-country (skiing), and rock climbing. Their families are heavily involved in these activities, and in many cases know each other.

I am wondering whether the absence of any hobby so intensely connected with my life could be due to the fact that there were simply no persistent hobbies in our family. I just cannot say that anyone from my parents had an active hobby during my childhood. Maybe they didn't even have time to develop an interest. Mom got pregnant shortly after finishing school, and dad... well, I realized he used to ski. But that ended after his eye injury. And also, skiing is not the cheapest hobby, so it was not possible to pursue it after my brother and I were born.

I also took a trip to Brno today. In moments when I consider where to settle down, this exhausting long journey is a big argument. But fortunately, one has to go through Černý Most, Florenc, and the Main Railway Station in Prague... and those are big arguments not to move to Prague (especially on hot summer days).

The homecoming was bittersweet. On the one hand, I feel kinda relieved that K is moving out. I think it gave us both a sense of calmness. By knowing that it's coming to an end, we don't have to overthink our behavior as much, and we can just enjoy our last few days together.

On the other hand, it's hard to say goodbye to the life I've lived for the past three years. And I know that the hard times are yet to come when the void that will emerge in my life due to the move-out becomes more apparent. I'm gonna miss the small things.

Brno welcomed me beautifully illuminated by the sun, and the fact that Mostak had my favorite fritz spritz made me even happier.

Take care 🌱
