So, it's official I am now official living on my own, sort of. OK so I signed the lease to a new apartment that I am renting with my bro'. It's a cute little 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment with a balcony that overlooks trees. It is really nice and in a really nice neighborhood. I will officially be living in Reno again (goodbye Sparks, it was nice while it lasted). So why is this so huge. This is my very first apartment as an independent adult. This is the first time in my adult life that I am healthy enough to live on my own. I know that most people hit this milestone much younger but it's just so great that I got to hit it at all.
I spoke to my grandmother on Mother's day and when I told her the news she said she was so happy that I was finally "getting my life back". That is how this feels, like being the 21 year old that finishes college and moves out. It kind of feels like I am 10 years younger but with the added benefit of 10 more years of experience in the world. I take this as a blessing, not the 10 years of suffering with pain but where that suffering has taken me.
I can not wait to be completely moved in and enjoying my independent life.

I am so happy for you! I know how you feel. Trust me, you will love it but keeping it maintained will be hard work! I'm having a hell of a time with a 3 BR house! Little things like this mean a lot. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHey there Nic. Thanks for your message. I appreciate what you said. Don't worry about the way you might have been to me in school. I considered you an acquaintance but we weren't close friends. There are so many people who used to be harsh to me in school that now appreciate the person that I am and don't worry, I have forgotten all of it. Life has taught me a lot, and I think we were all young and dumb in high school and didn't realize the important things in life yet. I would really appreciate those fibromyalgia books if you still have them. I am still learning a lot about it and any info would be appreciated. You can email me at azmariposa@hotmail.com to get my address. :)
