Wow so it has been a long time since my last post. I wish I had time to catch you up to speed but long story short I am moving at the end of the month! I am sad to be leaving my first apartment. This apartment was my declaration of independence, security, peace, achievement, and commitment. Are you wondering how a 1 bedroom apartment can represent so much about the occupant?
To put it lightly, I am a commitment phobe. I avoid committing to anything that I can, so committing to a 1 year lease gave me hives for weeks before I committed. The apartment brought independence and security because it was something that I provided for myself and no one could take it away. It was a great achievement because it signified my hard work in school and my career to be able to take care of myself. Most importantly, it brought peace because I could come home and not be bothered by a roommate, significant other, or family member. I believe everyone should experience that at least once in their lives.
I learned so much during my 13 months here and will share them over the next few weeks. For now, I should get back to packing.
Leaving is hard, but I am also so excited for what the future holds. I won’t think about tomorrow today and today I will cherish the remaining time I have in my first place!
