It’s been fun. No, really is been a lot of fun.
Mike and I moved in together on May 16th 2015. If
you are a longtime reader of my blog, you know this move was a major change in
my life. I ended a nine-year relationship, and was throwing off the binds that
a toxic relationship can wrap around your soul. Suddenly I was free. It wasn’t
on the level of Celie gaining freedom in The Color Purple, but for me, it felt
like that.
We will soon be in our current apartment for a year. This is
the place I had in my mind every night when I dreamed of escaping an unhealthy relationship.
My vision of peace. All that time,
painting in my mind how my own place would look like, how it would feel. Now, a
year has passed, and the escape is just a memory. It is now the time for the roommate
and I to move on with our lives. We have learned a lot in one year. The best
lesson is how well we get along. Suddenly we were best friends, and most beneficial
critics.
After a drama-filled search we have chosen a new apartment.
The only thing we did not like about the current place is how far away it is
from the city-center. The new place is close to downtown. Literally across the street from the train
line, and a station. The only bad news is that we can’t move in until the end
of June. I mean, our current lease is not over until the end of June, but I can’t
wait for the new place.
I however, am already missing the feeling of the current
place. It feels like Miss Celie, after leaving the farm gets a swanky apartment
where she can do whatever she wants; whenever she likes. Now it is time to move
on. Yes, the new place will be better. Yes, I’m now dating a wonderful and caring
guy. It’s a simple matter of a chapter closing. For many years I dreamt of my
own home. I imagined how it would feel. Now, we move on. It’s funny; life. If
you live long enough, you’ll do everything.
