In Poland everyone has to be registered somewhere, which is very often not where one lives. It’s not really that important for every day but if we want to take part in election or do tax return (which is compulsory) it needs to be in the area where one is registered.

I was registered in my family home. It was not compulsory for me as I don’t live in Poland but it felt like I belonged there, it made sense to me.

So I went to unregister myself today. That’s all I did today.

And now I feel like I don’t even want to be in my family home any more. It feels to me like the place is falling apart. Obviously it’s not true, the house, although it doesn’t have a modern interior, is well built. It’s the family that is falling apart. I need to get away from there, because if I don’t, I’ll fall apart too.
