I announced on FaceBook that I'm starting to look for a place to live. Originally, I planned on finding a place on my own to rent. (Yes, I know I always talked about not moving out until I could buy a place, and well, we know what I deal with on a day-in/day-out basis. My Quality Of Life is suffering though I should be in my prime, so I need to shift gears.)
Well, I was talking on the phone for a rather lengthy period of time tonight with my friend Danny who I knew of in high school, but did not get to really know until last year when we worked together at CVS and discovered we both have many of the same friends in common. He and I are both in similar situations. We're at the age, we need to get out. We need independence, autonomy, self-reliance, and the ability to date without parents getting involved (me especially).
Suddenly, mid-conversation/mid-venting, we landed on the subject of looking for a place together. We both would ideally like to live on our own, but if we were to have a roomate we both seem to be looking for the same kinda thing. Someone chill who doesn't need to live like a college party animal, but instead can go OUT to party and stay home to relax and have people over on occassion. Perfect.
Nothing is set in stone, but everything feels really optimistic. No secrets between us, everything is out in the open and we're both comfortable with that. Probably more than comfortable. Danny has become another incredibly good, supportive friend.
I can't express enough how exciting and promising this all is right now and I'm hoping it materializes into something that actually is carried out.
Life is about to become incredibly sa-weet.
