Renewing your lease

I’ve moved every year for the past ~5 years. Moving is the absolute worst shit to ever exist. It’s expensive. It takes you 3 months to settle into a new place, then you get comfortable, then it’s time to pack up and move again. Don’t get me started on how much Ritz the Cat hates moving, too. Finally renewing a lease for the first time since college this year and I’m so excited to not have to move.

trusting yourself

my partner and i were presented with the opportunity to move into a friend’s slightly larger and more amenitied apartment up the block, but we’d have to break our lease to do so lol listed our apartment on facebook marketplace to see if anyone was interested in signing the lease so we could move, essentially just putting out feelers and seeing what happened. did not expect to receive dozens upon dozens of messages! i scheduled tours and showed like six people around, all of whom were like where can i sign! and i called our landlord twice. met with the landlord of the new place and got the paperwork….. truly in the final steps…. only to get home and realize, you know what,,, we’re staying here! and it was literally such a relief to say it. did it take hundreds of messages from people begging for me to leave my apartment to truly viscerally process that i’ve got a good thing? perhaps! but i think it was more that i had been in a scarcity mindset of like, “when we move and i have more space i’ll be able to… make the art i want; really feel at home; feel more comfortable; etc.” and when i really dug into those feelings about it, i simply knew that my home right now presents a growth opportunity to work creatively with the space i have. didn’t want to admit to myself that i was in that space of forcing things because i initially just wanted to move so badly, i was literally bypassing my felt experience and like, true reactions. i also felt like it fell into our laps and was this once-in-a-lifetime thing. but really trying to now reinforce that a two bedroom w a dishwasher, balcony, and some bedrooms that look out onto the neighbors’ walls is not inimitable. and i want to approach this process from a space where im resourced and generally tranquil. so i’m happy and i’m not moving and im going to buy myself an $8 latte this morning to celebrate!!!!

ical & paper planner combo

both iCal— and I’m a big fan of multiple shared calendars. I have one with my sister, my mom, my partner, my bestie and one for myself. really helpful organizing plans with people and keeping track of far out dates like vacations and concert tickets. paper planner- for weekly and daily todo lists. finding where i can fit in x3 things to do daily based on what time allows for that day. and of course adding stickers and doodles with pretty markers. I use one from Shorthand.

packing up trinkets and lotions

is it okay that I’ve surrounded myself with so much STUFF? is accumulation always greed? where is the line between excess and simply nesting/ living in a home? is it just a luxury to have the space to store things for repurposing and reusing (ie jars, scraps for art, hobbies of the past — and hopefully the future— once adulthood/capitalism settles down)? or is this actually good for something?
