From my last lj post (in November):
"I'm 80% convinced that the next place I live in will be just for me. I will reserve a space near the biggest window for my yoga mat and a tiny altar for candles and incense. I will purchase a bed and a desk. The desk will go near the second biggest window. I will take a good amount of the furniture that's lying around my parents' house, not being used, and furnish my very own place. It will be cozy and lovely and I will cook in it and invite people over for dinner.
I'll let you know when that happens."
WELL, folks. Today I applied for an adorable one bedroom apartment in Edgewater (just a block away from where I used to live). Yay! I'll find out on Tuesday or Wednesday if it's been accepted. If it is accepted, I'll move in less than two weeks! Argh! I'm really excited about it. Great light, charming layout/structure, amazing space for the price, in a neighborhood I like...fingers crossed!
I got home tonight and started trying to clean/organize my room. I found myself faced once again with this drawer that's been shut for well over a year and a half. There was a binder in it that had opened, and I'd tried several times, with much much effort to open it, to no avail. Tonight. I. have. Prevailed. It's open. I DID it. And the things in it seemed so precious to me.
The binder itself is my "Path" binder from the career coaching class I did in New York right before I left. It's what led me to decide to write a play, and it was an incredibly useful and helpful life organizational aid. I'm gonna revisit it and see if maybe I'm ready to set another goal. It feels like the right time - especially if I'm finally gonna be moving into my own place...but let's not count our chicks before they hatch.
