I Finally Moved ✨AKA Life Update

Hello there everyone and Happy Summer! I hope you all had a wonderful week filled with joy and productivity. This intro feels like deja vu but it also feels so good to be writing again.

Y’all know I had to pop in and share a little bit about what’s been going on in my life. Especially since I’ve been MIA from my blog for what seems like forever. I feel like I’m still trying to find my flow and that’s okay. I’m just taking life one day at a time instead of completely overwhelming myself. 2023 has been a fragile year if that makes sense. I’ve lost a pretty good chunk of my weight, so I’m finally working on gaining that back and properly trying to nourish my body. I spent weeks taking tests and undergoing bloodwork looking for answers, but everything came back fine. It’s probably not the safest way but I’m starting to think this has been my body’s way of coping with anxieties and stress. This year I also received some unfortunate news regarding the health of someone extremely close to me which also was a little hard on me but I did the best I could to keep it together. Thankfully God has been on her side and she is doing well and in good spirits.

Amidst all of that, I was also very unhappy where I was living which made everything so much harder. Our apartment complex was getting worse and worse each day. The people below us never cleaned up after themselves, the people next to us always attracted the police, and I can’t even forget the sick lady on drugs who would curse at herself at the top of her lungs. I can make a whole blog post about how horrible the complex was but it’s not worth the energy. Speaking of energy, the energy there was trash as well. I started feeling like there was always a dark cloud over me. I never wanted to do anything. Hence no blog posts. All I could think about was what I could do to maintain my mental state. We wanted to move last year but unfortunately, the time wasn’t right for us but after much hard work, prayer, and luck we were able to find and move into our new apartment earlier this month!

It took time to find the home we are in now. In fact, we were so close to giving up but now that we are here, I’m so glad that we didn’t. I can’t say that it’s my dream home because that’s coming in the future but it’s close to it. The place gets amazing natural lighting which makes me feel more productive, and the overall energy here is just a lot more homey. The best part about it is we are not even close to finishing settling in so I can’t even imagine how much I’ll love it once we’re done unpacking and decorating.

With all that in mind, I’m hoping (I know I will) I find my writing flow again. I’m not going to create a schedule or start off too strong. I just want it to flow like how it used to. I know the bones in this home will give me all the good vibes that I need.

P.S. While editing, I noticed this post is formatted real weird and I don’t know why. It doesn’t look that way while I’m editing. I’ve got to figure out why it’s doing that but until then, my apologies!
