introduction - Introduction

About a week before I left, Larze asked me, 'How do you actually emigrate?' - a good question. Certainly not like me. Although I was really looking forward to this new chapter, I consistently avoided thinking about moving out until the very last day. No packed bags, no empty room, nothing. All a problem for Future Henni (man, I don't envy that guy.) But eventually, Monday arrives and then it's Future Henni's turn.

And saying goodbye was difficult. I don't remember ever crying so much in one day. Four hours on the train to Frankfurt, during which I cried for sure three and a half hours. The people in the ICE train with me probably thought their own thoughts. But they didn't have to pack up a whole Berlin life into a backpack! 'I'm so not ready to leave,' I kept writing in my diary during the journey.

And now, after more than three days, my head is still very much at home. I keep thinking that every day I have to see as much of the city as possible, because I'll be leaving soon. But that's not true. I'm staying. Today was the first day when I actually felt that. The first day that felt like 'I think I live here now'.

But well, what I actually want to do is share visual impressions with you. That will happen in the next posts, inshallah.
