The new chapter of September

I've started this month by moving house with Mary Grace and Chiara. I feel comfortable in this new space, and we'll be able to spend more time together, talking about projects, ideas and activities. Summer is slowly fading and autumn is starting to show its first signs.

We celebrated Mary's birthday on the 5th, it was a really nice moment. We have a lot of introspection and deep conversations with the girls, it's like a constant group therapy, we go for walks, do sports, cook together, it feels super good. 

The work was mostly office hours during this month, as the theater workshops will start again on October. It was actually a lot of fun and let us nice free time in the afternoons. 

To start with San Mateo week, which is public holiday, I went to la fête de l'Humanité in Paris with my friends, that was such a nice experience, it might seem stupid but I didn't expect so many people and things to do! We had the opportunity to participate in debates, listen to conferences and dance all night and day. I love festivals' atmosphere, it was the best way possible to end the summer. After that, I went back to Bayonne, my hometown, and welcomed Mary Grace and Annika there. I wanted to show them the Basque Country, we went to the beach, visited Anglet and Bayonne. Then we got back to La Rioja and had the possibility to participate in the last days of San Mateo in Logroño, we went for a concert of La Pegatina which was a lot of fun. 

I ended this month with the first workshop of Beyond, a theater project for minors under state protection in Logrono. It was really interesting, seemed to demand a lot of energy to Miguel, the actor who gives the workshop. I feel like I will learn a lot from this experience. On the last weekend, we went in Baños de Río Tobía with Chiara and Mary Grace for a day of conference, debate and workshops with the association Alianza around the theme of selfcare and women. 

On a more internal level, I feel like Camprovin and this volunteering are really helping my mental health. I feel more comfortable with myself, still struggle with a lot of questions and anxiety but it's really getting better.
