Hello, hello

How have you all been this month? Melting yet? โ˜€๏ธ Are you getting ice cream? ๐Ÿจ Getting some rest? Sleeping enough?! (I damn hope you are!) I've been pretty busy these past few weeks organizing my next mooooove! Yes, I am moving yet again...

I am leaving the seaside and moving back to a bigger city. First I thought I wanted to settle here, but then... I realized I needed more. More access to what I love, which includes: the arts, plays, events, museums, and more opportunities to pursue some of my ambitions. I love my job as a content creator/storyteller very much, but as you know, it can get very lonely. I recently flew out to the US to volunteer at a convention for a weekend, and it really pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me realize I needed more social contact in my daily life. It was super intense but also quite fulfilling, as I was a talent handler for an amazing, seasoned actor ๐Ÿคฉ My role was basically to escort him from one activity with his fans to another! Two very full-on days ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

Upon coming back to Europe, I felt like I wanted a change. I tried to buy a place here in this seaside town but the sale fell through, so I started looking at a nearby city. I eventually found the perfect little apartment, so... I'M BUYING MY OWN PLACE! ๐Ÿ  ๐Ÿฅณ Which is something I have always dreamed of, but always wondered how I could achieve, on my own, in this economy (lol ๐Ÿ˜ฉ). Of course, I owe it all to no one else but you guys, who support me and are helping me build my dream life ๐Ÿฅน ๐Ÿซถ

So now I have to be patient... my offer and mortgage application have been accepted but it's a waiting game โฐ not much more I can do apart from prepare for my move and start packing! I am NOT looking forward to that part... every time, it always turns out I have way more stuff than I thought I did ๐Ÿ™„ But I like to be organized and do things in advance (obvs you already know that), so even though the move probably won't happen before early September, I'm gonna get started soon ๐Ÿš€

That's it for now, until next time ๐Ÿ‘€

DO let me know what's been going on with you, as I love to know what's happening in other people's lives ๐Ÿคญ Tell me what made you smile recently! What you're looking forward to! What the best part of your month has been!

I love you ๐Ÿซถ

I finished all of my classes for my last year of college. All that is left is to pass my exams. Which I can do at any point in time for the next 4 years. I am now planning to finally move out and live on my own. I'm not picky about what job I'll look for to support myself. So long as it isn't any online customer support. Working for the German online Amazon store took years off my life.

I thankfully get the rest of summer off because I work in a school, so I get school holidays off. Which is a godsend because jesus christ have the heatwaves in the UK been kicking our asses.

That's so awesome you're becoming a homeowner! So exciting. Also hope that you had a great time in the U.S. My birthday is coming up at the end of the month and decided to take the day off from work to fully enjoy it. Last few years on my birthday I was working, but decided to take the day off this time. Hope you stay safe during the summer heatwaves, Storm. Keep hydrated.

Coco

First congrats on buying your first appartment, that's one hell of a buy ! Wish you the best on your appartment. For me, I've actually finally finished university, and going full time as a tram driver, well I need a stable job, it's not what I want to do, but I think for the next years to come I'll need something stable, for example at the end of the year I'm planning on buying my first car, I'm actually just using one of my parent's car so it'll be better, and my little brother is actually starting his driver's license, so he'll take my actual car. In like 2 years I'm actually planning on moving out of my parent's house in order to claim my peace and have my own little space ! My job as a tram driver won't last long, I'm enjoying it, but it's not my dream there is something missing, and it's actually mentally hard as a job, trying not to kill people who jumps in front of your tram is mentally consuming. Well all in all everything is doing alright, I've joined my family for holidays I've arrived yesterday after a 5 hour drive to the West coast of France (not near Bordeaux don't worry), and this morning I went tree climbing with my little brother and got a hit with a heatstroke, so I'm a little bit tired but the next days should be less active, and I'll be able to rest properly ! Well wish you the best Storm and I can't wait to see what you've prepared for us for the next month ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Best year I've EVER HAD!๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ๐Ÿบ I ALSO climbed my FIRST Rock face a month ago!!! My fear of heights is GONE!!!

Good luck to you on the move. As someone who has moved to 4 different places in the past year and a half, I get what youโ€™re going through. I hope your experience at your new place is better than my current situation because I do not have A/C. I also dream of one day settling down and getting my own place out in the countryside so feel free to leave some pointers on all that. I just watched Epic: The Musical (highly recommend). A real emotional roller coaster. Iโ€™m looking forward to starting martial arts classes. Best part(s) of my month so far has been going to the Yorktown Revolutionary War monumental park with my family (saw some monuments for those from France who helped us) and going to the range.

Northern_shiroi_okami

So happy to hear that you are taking some chances for the better Storm! Thatโ€™s sometimes easier said than done so you should be proud of yourself for that! Iโ€™m currently just working and getting by one day at a time, but I have a few things I want to try myself in a nearby future, both studies and hobbies included. Wishing you all the luck for the future and looking forward to future audios from you!๐Ÿ˜„

Niwol

My life is absolute crap, but it's not any worse than before either, so I can say things are okay.๐Ÿ˜„ I hope your move goes smoothly and that you get settled in comfortably.

Fraye

What great news Storm! Iโ€™m so happy for you! You deserve a cozy home of your own ๐Ÿ˜Œ Good luck with all the preparations the coming month. Coincidentally, Iโ€™ve just, mostly, finished moving last Saturday. Still renting, but me and my partner upgraded from an apartment to a normal house. Iโ€™m so happy with all the added space we now have, and my partner is over the moon about the back garden we now have. But yeah, moving takes on a toll on you. Weโ€™ve kinda been avoiding the boxes that are strewn around the house and still need unpacking, but weโ€™re just so tired. After a day of work I canโ€™t bring myself to be meticulously unpacking stuff, thinking about where would be the smartest and most efficient place where an item should be stored. So just recharging our battery at the moment and hopefully weโ€™ll be on it again soon and finish unpacking those damn boxes ๐Ÿ“ฆ

Would You Kindly

Im so happy for you :) when I used to work from home a lot it was incredibly lonely sometimes and really isolating. I imagine it being even worse for a content creator. I hope the move isnโ€™t too stressful and the new place works out! I just recently moved across the country myself ๐Ÿ˜… from New Jersey to California. I moved in with my partner that I happened to meet online one day a few years ago, and became a step-dad to two beautiful kids. Itโ€™s definitely a big change since my partner has chronic illnesses, so I usually do most of the house work because I donโ€™t want her to overexert herself. Itโ€™s honestly irrelevant though relative to how happy I am with her. This relationship has been so beautiful and so emotionally comforting. Iโ€™ve never felt so safe before ๐Ÿฅฐ Sorry for yapping so much I hope everyone is doing okay and having a nice summer! If things arenโ€™t great right now, thatโ€™s okay too, just take it day by day and do your best to take care of yourself <3

Kiei

Not too much going on with me outside of a new job 2 months in now. Itโ€™s decent but labor intensive. Been enjoying bed time much more thanks to a weighted blanket ๐Ÿคญ Im looking forward to a new expansion coming for a game I play in January! Very exciting for your new milestone. I know loneliness hits differently and sporadically, but I have faith youโ€™ll be very fulfilled soon. Good luck with the move and your adventures! ^^

Bugiisan

Hey there Storm I wish I could get enough but no such luck for me I do hope you are getting enough sleep. Besides been busy I hope you are doing good and that you enjoyed your trip to the US and I know what you mean regarding the social life I miss it as well recently I was reminded that when I went to a museum. Congratulations on getting an apartment in this economy is super hard and fingers crossed the waiting time won't be super long. Moving is never easy or fun because there are a lot of stuff much more then a person though like you said let's hope the move will go smoothly and without problems. Sending you much love and hugs Storm and thank you for this little life update

Sigmund

Hello Storm. I hope you're doing well. I hope the move goes smoothly and that you settle in nicely. As for me, I have just three days of work left before a three-week vacation. Iโ€™m not going anywhere, though, I don't have the funds, as my car needs quite a bit of work before its inspection at the end of the year. Iโ€™ve also been looking for a studio apartment for months without getting any replies. Itโ€™s still hot where I amand it's unbearable, so Iโ€™m just trying to cool off however I can. I hope conditions will be better where you're heading. Thanks for sharing what you're doing and your situation with us again. Take care Storm, love you ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ’–

Davis

I never realized Storm was in Europe lol

Griever2112

Trust meโ€ฆ July has not been a kind monthโ€ฆ looking forward to hopefully a better August.

Vent13

May your move be swift and peaceful. I wish you all the best and may there be a swell in contentment as this new chapter begins!

Hawkeye

Welcome to the Home-Owner club ๐Ÿฅณ Hope you found a place where you dont have to rebuild half of everything so you dont have to spent half a year working on it. Although it is kind of cool knowing you have actually build your own place ๐Ÿ˜ But yeah, that is what has been going on over here. Building, building and getring crazy from all the stuff that had to be finished. So good luck with your place, and important question of course: room tour when? ๐Ÿ˜„

Noah Thompson

Iโ€™m so glad youโ€™re getting a place of your own! Iโ€™ve been learning how to do my bossโ€™s job at my work on top of my own job. She is going to be out for a month on maternity leave and Iโ€™m learning to take her place for that time, Iโ€™m really enjoying it and hoping it leads to full time work and better paying opportunities.

jared_

Happy to know that you had a lot of fun on your trip! It's nice to try something new from time to time. Hope you get more chances to explore and get out more once you've settled after the move. Speaking of, congratulations! I think I speak for everyone when I say it's truly a huge step in life when you get to start having your own place. I hope the new environment will be good for you. You've been doing a lot. You deserve this! On mine, I'm gonna be honest it's been rough recently. Been on the move for years ever since graduating college for the work that I've been pursuing. It's been paying off really well to which I'm glad, but it does get lonely sometimes being distant from the people that matter to me. I miss the folks, I miss my partner, I miss the friends I used to frequently go out with. Nevertheless I try keep it positive. After all, what a privilege it is to be tired from something I once only dreamt of and prayed for. Glad to have found your ๐—ฬถ๐—ˆฬถ๐—‹ฬถ๐—„ฬถ art in all of this. Thanks for doing what you're doing! Take care

That is so sweet ๐Ÿฅน thank you! And Iโ€™m quite curious now, what is that job that is keeping you away from your friends and partners? If you donโ€™t mind sharing ๐Ÿคญ

Message in a bottle ASMR

Oh wow, sounds like youโ€™re climbing that ladder and adding to your skills, well done ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Message in a bottle ASMR

3 weeks off sounds amaaaazing! Hopefully the heatwave is gone by then ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ I can only imagine how unbearable it is on a daily basis. Take care of yourself ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

Message in a bottle ASMR

Awww thank you ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ and thatโ€™s amzing about the weighted blanket haha, for me itโ€™s a heated blanket ๐Ÿ˜ (though not right now obvs hah)

Message in a bottle ASMR

That all sounds amazing, seems like youโ€™ve really reached new heights in your personal life recently, you should be proud! Enjoy! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Message in a bottle ASMR

Great plan ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป congrats on the move. And yesssss having a garden or at least an outdoor area really does make all the difference ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

Bugiisan

It was great about the events from world War 2 until nowdays in Budapest and the country there I was there on a little vacation

Message in a bottle ASMR

I havenโ€™t seen that musical! And honestly now that Iโ€™m buying a place in the big city, part of me also just wants a big house in the countryside ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ so I get ya. Prices may be more affordable where you are but I would say the only reason I was able to get my own place is because I started my own business!! Otherwise no way would I have been able to in this economy ๐Ÿฅฒ

Message in a bottle ASMR

Hahaha wow, I love your enthusiasm!! Very happy for you that things are evolving in a positive way ๐Ÿคญโ˜€๏ธโœจ

Message in a bottle ASMR

Be careful in this heat!!! And your job sounds exhausting indeed ๐Ÿ˜ฑ remember you can have your full time stable job and do other things on the side! If you have an idea or a โ€œdreamโ€ as you say, you should start working on it right now, even if itโ€™s just a liiiitle bit every week (trust me, I wasted lots of time ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ) ๐Ÿ’•

Message in a bottle ASMR

Duuuude you should always take your birthday off work if you can ๐Ÿ˜ƒ thatโ€™s awesome, have the best day taking care of yourself!! ๐ŸŽ‚

Oh wow! Yeah customer service can be hard Iโ€™m sure ๐Ÿ˜ฌ you got this!!! Well done ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’•

Kin

I'm actually just a groundsman for a school, not a teacher lmao. I just keep the outside of the school clean. But thank you. I hope your move goes smoothly.

Sigmund

Yeah, tha'ts what i wish. Take care too, Storm ๐Ÿ’š

ALLEYCAT

Well when you get a chance, you should definitely see it. Iโ€™ll send the links to the videos. Also Iโ€™m not sure prices and the economy are much better here. Inflation is a serious problem right now. Starting your own business is incredible and I hope it goes great for you. I also hope to start a business of my own one day

jared_

It's an operational role in a tech company managing people and systems hence why they need me close to site. It's not as exciting on paper ๐Ÿ˜… but I'm glad I got here. The big city is a bit daunting, but you never run out of interesting people I am curious too on how you got started with making audios. Besides the already great voice and acting, you have a knack for when it comes to setting the tone with your bgm and ambients. I need to catch up on rambles if you may have talked about it there ๐Ÿ˜„

Hamm

My work is going very well, and recently for some reason I have been very nostalgic for the simple foods I ate when I grew up poor. Doing much better now, yes. But cooking up those simple vegetable dishes made me feel so thankful for all the food and blessings that we tend to take for granted. Hope your situation with house turns better soon, Storm! โ˜€๏ธโœจ๏ธ

Coco

Yeah one thing I want to do for sure is travel in a lot of countries, for example I think next year I will go to Germany I've always wanted to go there, I do have some people I know, so it'll also be good to see them again. I do have some ideas on what to do, I recently built my own pc (more than 2000โ‚ฌ) and I kind of enjoyed building it ! So next year for my little brother 18th birthday I will build him one, my parents agreed on helping with the cost. I enjoy building pcs so I'll keep learning in this field for the next years until I can do it all alone, because it's been a year since I've been driving tram and I'm already getting tired of it, I feel like I've done it all ๐Ÿ˜‚

Joshua Payne

Happy to hear all this and hope when you move, your move is smooth and your enjoy your new place ๐Ÿ˜€ got my support ๐Ÿ˜Š there's nothing new with me, same old crap ๐Ÿ˜… just live day by day :)

Niwol

I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary, but at least it keeps my mind occupied so I don't think about it. why?

houzi

AHAHAHAHA! A BIG MOVE! Congratulations! You did it! A new chapter in your life โœจ๏ธ Genuinely happy for you, homeowner โ˜บ๏ธ Always love these life updates because you give us all a chance to talk about the wins (big and small) in our own lives. Call me nosy, but reading these always brings a smile to my face โ˜บ๏ธ We forget there doesn't always have to be some huge major life changing moment. Having learned from a certain someone ๐Ÿ˜ sometimes it's nice to find joy in the simple things. And appreciating the small things can make those bigger moments more meaningful when they do come along ๐Ÿ˜Œ Personally I've taken to making phin drip coffee on most days. My brother gave me some of his extra coffee equipment, so I've started trying different coffee beans for fun. Nothing big, kinda boring. But there's just something about taking a moment to slow down and make the coffee. It's almost like a small ritual that helps me feel grounded. Also one can never have too much caffeine. Especially when sleep is non-existent ๐Ÿ™ƒ. More recently I've moved into a baking phase (again) and have found myself with too many lemons and peaches ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ It's amazing to see how far you've come. So happy that you've been able to find pockets of stability and are still finding ways to pursue your creative goals. I wholeheartedly believe that you've earned and deserve every single milestone so far. May the right people and opportunities find you, Storm ๐Ÿ’›

Message in a bottle ASMR

That's so sweet ๐Ÿ˜ญ I understand that, some foods or meals take us right back to childhood, don't they? โค๏ธ

Message in a bottle ASMR

Oh wow! Hopefully you find some form of stability there and can still see your fam/friends once in a while. Hmm it's a tough question to answer, I think it comes from being highly sensitive and born with artistic sensibilities (that sounds pompous as hell ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜‚). I don't think everything can be explained! Some people are good at sports, others are great at maths, or music, or languages... I do have a degree in musical composition though, so I got to develop those skills a bit more ๐Ÿ˜‰

Message in a bottle ASMR

Careful that "one day" doesn't turn into "always later" !! If you've got an idea, start now! I believe in you ๐Ÿš€ โค๏ธ

Message in a bottle ASMR

You must have some mad skills to build PCs! Sounds like you've found something that really makes you passionate ๐Ÿ˜‰

Message in a bottle ASMR

๐Ÿ˜‚ THANK YOU! It's been quite a journey so far, trust the process, ey ๐Ÿคญ I love rituals, in general. I think we have removed most of them in western life and deep down we miss them. So re-instating them in our daily life is grounding, even if it's just taking the time to make your coffee the perfect flavor (or your matcha ๐Ÿ˜‚) What sort of things are you baking with those lemons and peaches?!

jared_

Thank you! Yeah. It'll be a while but it'll definitely be worth the while. No no, not pompous at all! I get it. I used to play strings and it's kinda like just knowing out of nowhere how to adlib solos or change arrangements and it just fits. (Now I hope that wasn't pompous ๐Ÿ˜‚) Also, wow! Your major definitely paid off ๐Ÿ˜‰ Your audios really stand out because every element you use just flows well and immerses. I'm curious, if you don't mind me asking, what lead to the transition from a music profession to voice acting; how did the ASMRs start?

Niwol

I'm a rather boring person.^^

houzi

Sipping coffee (or matcha ๐Ÿคญ) in the morning certainly pairs well with the sunrise โ˜บ๏ธ Honestly the little rituals and routines in life really help with keeping a clear, calm mind. I should probably start journaling again... The obvious choice would be a peach pie or cobbler of some sort. But why go for the obvious when we can try something new ๐Ÿ™Œ I'm always open to suggestions, but you may have given me an idea with the matcha ๐Ÿ˜

houzi

Oh, I'll make a cobbler...but I'll probably also Frankenstein something else ๐Ÿ˜‚
