🏡 Transcription — Moving to a new apartment and starting over
Speaker: Elena.
Hi, I’m Elena. Recently, I moved to a new apartment, and it felt like a fresh start for me. I didn’t move to a different city, but even changing neighborhoods made a big difference. My old place was small and noisy. The street was busy, and at night I could hear cars and people outside. I got used to it, but I was always tired in the morning. When I found the new apartment, it wasn’t perfect, but it had two things I really wanted: more light and more quiet. The first week was stressful. I had boxes everywhere, and I couldn’t find simple things like my phone charger or a clean towel. I also realized I had too many unnecessary items. So I started sorting my stuff. I donated some clothes, threw away broken things, and kept only what I actually use. Now I’m slowly making the space feel like home. I bought a small desk because I sometimes work online, and I put a plant near the window. I also made a simple routine: I wake up, open the curtains, and drink coffee while I plan my day. It sounds small, but it helps me feel calm and organized. The best part is that this move pushed me to change other habits too. I started walking more, cooking at home more often, and spending less time on my phone in the evening. I still have a lot to do—like hanging pictures and choosing a lamp—but I enjoy the process. For me, moving wasn’t only about a new apartment. It was about creating a better daily life, step by step.
