Next chapter
Life has been eventful. I finally moved out on my own to a loft downtown. Living by myself has been quite nice but it is almost too quiet. There is nothing to distract myself from my thoughts. With the extra time and silence, it feels almost unsettling but I think it is probably a sign for me to try out new things. I’ve been going to the gym regularly, taking the time to curl my hair, putting on some make up – little things that will make me feel better about myself.
I’ve been realizing my independence this last month. I’ve done a number of things around the house – installed a new towel bar, a hanging dish rack (had to research drywall anchors.. I didn’t even know what it was until recently).. I even installed a new shower head! It really feels great that I can do these things on my own. Ironically though, I still require some help with opening up a bottle of barbecue sauce.. but maybe I’ll be able to do that myself too one day.
I also knocked down another course for my degree. Completion still seems far away but I at least I am one step closer. Its hard to work full-time and do a degree program, but I am not in a big rush. I know I will eventually get it.Â
It feels a bit liberating that my time is mine. I can do whatever I want and it feels foreign. For the last few years I haven’t taken care of myself at all.. always putting others ahead of myself. For once I can take care of myself and be selfish with my time but I don’t really know where to start.
