1st night downtown

After 4+ years my boyfriend and I decided to call it quits. We just couldn't see eye to eye and resolve some issues. Neither of us were happy with the situation. One night while at dinner, not enjoying eachother's company, it hit me...I do not want to feel this way in 10 years. Something has to change. So we talked and decided to separate.

Lucky enough we remained friends. There were some tough days where our emotions got the best of us, and other days where we could go out to eat and enjoy each other company. We have been through a lot together and seen each other grow. Unfortunately, we could not make each other happy or work as a team. I love him dearly but just want us to be happy. Who knows what will happen down the road but for now I think we need to be on our own without each other's influence as a significant other.

I chose to move downtown & experience the most out of this city.

A week after signing the lease, I'm not fully moved in yet. I will be able to fit everything I want, but downsizing from a two bedroom/2 bath to a studio is a big adjustment. Especially when I was foolish to think making several trips with my hyundai would be better than getting a u-haul and making the move in one day. That was stupid! Next time not only am I getting a truck, I may hire movers!!!!

Tonight, I planned to stay the night in my new place, go to a volunteer event, and get drinks with friends afterwards. By the time I got things to my apartment it was too late to rush over to the event. So I unpacked, relaxed, and talked to several friends about possibly meeting up tonight. Well its 11:45 and no calls. I sit in my ultra cute studio with my ultra cute pleaded black mini on with a black tank top and no where to go. But that's okay because I told Darby I'd be over early to help him move to return the favor of helping me.


So I sit in my downtown studio and though my plans for the night didn't go quite as planned, I feel good and happy to be where I am. As I type, I look out my window to the space needle glowing so brightly. She watches over me and reminds me that moving to Seattle was the best decision I ever made.
