Life is hard and I love it.

Just wanted to say this somewhere. I moved into my first solo apartment last year and it’s been hard - tight finances, social life, etc etc etc. But I LOVE this.

I have a moment at least once a week where I’ll look at myself, and look at my apartment, and say out loud, “This is awesome. Great job,” to myself. I love living alone and deciding my own schedule. I love decorating my apartment and seeing the walls slowly fill. I love living a life that is completely my own, where I decide what happens and learn the consequences naturally.

There’s been a bit of extra learning since I’ve also gone through a job transition, where I was lucky that I’ve been working in my emergency savings since 2019. I’m thankful to my past self for supporting me in a change I needed.

Basically - life is hard and finances are tight and it rocks. I’m so proud of myself today and the person I was before. Probably of the person I will become. This is such a fun challenge!
