I have had my appartment for a month now. Maybe I should do a little status check. How am I feeling about living on my own?<\/p>\n<p>It frigging rocks is how I&#8217;m feeling it. I can&#8217;t believe I waited so long. I should have moved out 50 years ago. Although that would require some kind of time\/space continuum malfunction. But seriously. I should have done it long ago. I can barely remember how it was before I moved out. How the days used to go. It seems like a different lifetime, even though it&#8217;s just a month ago.<\/p>\n<p>There was no reason to be so scared of it. I think I&#8217;m handling everything pretty well. All the practical and financial things. Doing the shopping, the cleaning. Getting up in the morning, going to bed at a reasonable hour. Not living (entirely) off of candy. Sure I&#8217;ve gotten lots of help from my family. But I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s a negative thing. I&#8217;m just really happy that I have done this and that I&#8217;m making it ok.<\/p>\n<p>Not that everything is peachy-happy all the time. I still have all the problems I&#8217;m dealing with. Depression still comes to visit every now and then. And being alone in a little appartment like this, sometimes it can seem like it&#8217;s easier to give up. But I haven&#8217;t given up yet. And I am very confident that this was a big step, a good step, the right step. I am happy and hopeful.<\/p>\n<p>I really like my comfy chair. The way it&#8217;s set up now, in front of the telly. Sitting there and being comfy under a warm blanket and relaxing. It&#8217;s cosy. And in little over a month&#8217;s time I&#8217;ll have a kitten in my lap. Living the good life. It&#8217;s about bloody time too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September the first. I have had my appartment for a month now. Maybe I should do a little status check.
