Ten Thing of Thankful #29
First—the Blogging Community
Seriously, I never thought that something as simple as writing, linking up and reading each other's works would give me so much joy. It is the people that make it worthwhile, all the other authors and bloggers that I have met and who now—as weird as it may sound—have become a part of my life.
Second—Coursemates
I have always been very introverted—and the people who study IT are too—it doesn't make it better that many classes can be taken remotely—buuuuuuuuuut… we do have a lab where we meet every Wednesday, and I get some serious, wholesome human interaction that I did not even know I missed.
Third—My Tallinn Family
I truly feel like I have gotten a second set of parents and good friends. When I first started going to uni, a lot of the time in the day went on travelling, even if I lived at Mum's on schooldays—I had to wake up before six every morning and study in the university hallways or study rooms—then I got home around six or seven…
So the next normal thing to do was to look for a place in Tallinn. I was so scared, as I was moving in with complete strangers. But I am so happy I did because I truly feel that I have made lifelong friends…
Fourth—My Sister and My Brother
These two—most annoying, most dear—people in my life keep messaging me nonstop while I am drowning in my schoolwork and remind me that I have two people in my life who are allowed to annoy the living shit out of me because I still adore them to bits.
Fifth—the Man at My Real Home
Imagine this: you live 23 years on this earth—you did have a few boyfriends—but never lived with anyone and have no idea how to… then you meet a stranger, and the next thing you know, that stranger has been your home for 12+ years already. Time flies.
Sixth—My Laptop
This thing is the coolest thing ever.
It is running Fedora 45 with KDE Plasma 6.8.2, which is heavily tailored to my workflow, and I am able to do everything I need for my school, my writing, my webpage, gaming and all…
and it has dragons…
Seventh—my mother.
Eight—music.
I wonder when will my new bubblegum pink vinyl arrive…
Ninth—her boyfriend.
Tenth—poets.
Especially back at dVerse, I have found so many cool writers there. It is not only because I take part in a few hops, but I feel like I am interacting with some of the most awesome people on Earth… people who create art with just words…

That’s really a very heartfelt list of gratitude, Reelika! I can also relate to the Blogging Community; I thoroughly enjoy being part of this amazing community, including TToT, Six Sentence Stories, and dVerse Poets Pub.
Your desktop looks so amazing! I like the floating taskbar you’ve set up. Congratulations on the upgrade to Fedora 45! I also like the idea of CPU temperature monitor on the desktop. 👍
