March Life Update
The past month and almost a half has been heaven and hell. My landlord gave me a two week notice before he was going to sell his property, which completely caught me by surprise and threw me into a panic. I was supposed to be leaving for a FMTY and tour four days after I received the news, and my trip was going to put me past the two week mark. Luckily I was able to sign a lease, move out, and leave my belongings with a friend the day before I left for my trips. On the brighter side my old place had so many problems, so I think this was exactly what I needed to finally make the shift in my life.
I moved out of my old place with three suitcases and two cardboard boxes to my name. I forgot how many things you needed to live in an apartment from furniture to silverware to soap dispensers. Building a home from scratch has been exhausting, and with my March full of amazing dates and tours I only have three whole days to myself and six days total in my new apartment this month.
The stress of trying to build a new home and chapter in my life had me crying on the floor of my kitchen in a pile of packing peanuts at one point. Coupled with the feeling that I felt like my time in Boston had come to an end and was excited to explore somewhere new I was a little disappointed that I had signed another year of my life to this city. Needless to say my personal life has been a bit restless with a bunch of mixed feelings lately, so I apologize if I haven’t been 100% present on our dates and texts/emails have been unanswered/delayed. I try to give all my dates the attention they deserve, but I’m only human and sometimes these taxing feelings can leech in.
I am beyond grateful to my amazing clients who reached out to me when I expressed my hardship. It warmed my heart to receive messages offering your services/connections, gifts to aid my stress, and help with rent/deposit and furnishings. I am so appreciative to have such caring clients who want to help me in this difficult time, because I know these relationships are the ones to hold on to. Moments like these remind me how much I love this job, because it allows me to forage relationships with the most thoughtful people.
I’m so excited for my two week hiatus in April, because I’ve been so busy with wonderful dates and travel that I haven’t really taken time to care for myself. I’m looking forward to having more time dedicated to creating my new space, to finally have a few moments where I can just potato, and a period where I have undivided attention to plan my next adventures. Mid-April and beyond is already looking so bright, and I’m thrilled to (re)connect when I’m fully rested and energized.
