The Viking that raided a new place

Hello, my name is Ragnar (commonly known as Ari), and you might know me from the abundance of art I did here and the promo Bea did for me.

Exactly 6 days ago I moved. I've been waiting for this moment for a very long time, since 2015, but around 10 months ago it became a need. After a lot of convincing and my parents seeing that it was the right decision, I moved. Some might call me spoiled but never in my life have I felt happier. I feel free, escaping most of the things that made me go through depressive episodes, panic attacks and worse. Ever since I moved, I feel way better, and the chores don't bother me at all - I feel really good doing them, I always do them in my own way. There's always music, a video or anything else playing here. I really never felt more alive and while my depression and other mental problems aren't fully gone I feel like I'm getting better and more mature each day. As someone said, "New level unlocked". This Viking is going places.

I can finally call another place truly home (besides theatre) and not just say it because that's how you should call the place where you live. I've made this place my own, it still needs a few personal touches, but when I wake up I don't feel like I want to end it all, I don't feel as stressed anymore. I can be myself here and not face the toxic things I've been put through.

This move barely felt scary because it was something I needed, truly needed. I've reached the point in my life I can finally go only mostly upwards from now on while dancing to whatever music I put on. This is my design, this is me, I am myself for the first time in my life, without facing criticism or getting yelled at. So hello again my name is Ragnar and I finally feel good.
