but i wanted to take these five minutes to stop and appreciate how good things are for the moment. everyone is so quick to complain, myself included, so for a change I am going to do the opposite. I've just moved out, its been a week. I have a lovely duplex home/apartment type place to live with three other fantastic girls. Its a ten minute drive to school and a five minute drive (i can even walk!) to work. Its reasonably priced as well. We all have our own rooms. We have almost a brand new kitchen. We have a balcony of the living room. We have painters coming in today to give it a fresh coat, and carpet cleaners already took care of the floors. We are all in love with our new little place. I am very content with living here, and not at school, or even driving from home. My room faces the street. A quiet and charming montclair street, I wake up to kids walking to school, a train rolling in a block away, and the sound of airplanes. I think at this point anyone who knows me understands how much i love airplanes. I am so happy and thrilled to be moved out, and feel more accomplished that even though it will be hard, I am paying for everything on my own.
the second great thing going on in my life, is that i have come to terms with a lot of my friendships. Such as, I have learned how to let go of trying to be friends with people who clearly have no mutual interest. Maybe, they will come around. But I've been calling, texting, visiting, attempting to visit, inviting, etc manyy manyy people out these past two-three weeks trying to express my love and interest in these friendships. I have found that maybe, they will come around. But in the mean time I am lucky to have multiple other good friendships that have been taking of my time and lonely fears. Lunch dates. evening romps, mini shopping sprees, ikea visits, town romps, walks, drinking nights, etc. I am so happy and fortunate to have everyone in my life, regardless of how often or little I see them.
and lastly, which may be the least talked about topic in my life, for fear of jinxing it, I have a boy in my life these days. Which is brilliant in multiple ways, but to save myself from sounding like a cheese ball or some repetitive romance novel, I will spare details. Basically, we both agree that we have almost effortless chemistry, and I can't say its ever been so good before. And just to throw out how great he is, this boy got home from work at six in the morning, woke up at eleven, and drove to my home town all the way from Fort Lee to help me move out.
anyways, happy days. Today, I am going to Ikea for a new room, home depot for paint, and whole foods for yummy vegetarian goodness.
