Life Update: Getting There

 This week has been very eventful, and even though I am exhausted and my body is hurting a lot, I am so relieved and excited. On Thursday, I finally moved into my new apartment. What a struggle it was, everything with my former landlord and all the money issues; a lot of things didn't go as I'd initially planned, but we managed to figure it all out and make it work eventually.

This weekend, I've been working on getting everything ready in my place, unpacking and organizing, making the apartment feel like a home and look like me. I also placed an order of Sanrio-themed decor items as well as everyday household tools, like oven mittens! Why should you have boring, regular oven mittens when you can have cute pink ones that have Hello Kitty's face on them? Exactly.

As much as this change is for me in this current day and age, I can't help but feel like a huge chunk of it is for the Kid too. She's a very prominent figure in my life, she's always been here for me but for a long time, I've neglected her, her needs and her wishes. I think I'm done doing that to her now. 

Now, I'm going to give her everything she's ever wanted and then some.

a new beginning.

In the wake of a new week, I am almost done with unpacking my stuff and I should be able to start living in my new home in a couple of days. I am so excited for this change for it will give me the very much needed privacy I need as a grown adult while also being close to my parents if things were to go south again. I have been struggling with a depressive episode recently, and that might affect my ability to take care of myself, which is why it's really good I live close to my parents now. In any case, I am excited to see what will happen next, how things will go and what kind of impact this will have on both my art and my health.

I am hoping for the positive kind.

With anticipation,
