Changes

Sometimes, people do surprise you.

My parents were shockingly receptive - if hesitant - to my plan to and reasonings for moving in with a roommate. My lease is up at the end of the month (yes, two weeks) and I had to scramble to find alternate arrangements. I'm going to be moving in with a girl that I've been working with since starting at Giant Bookstore, although we don't know one another well. I have a really good feeling about it and I choose to hold on to that feeling for as long as possible.

Sometimes I fear that I'm so comfortable being alone that being with someone will be uncomfortable - and I don't want that for myself. I want to make myself a better, more well-rounded person, and I feel like the way to do that is to pull away from my comfort zone. Yes, I enjoy living alone. I like naked time and bath time and sing-whatever-I-want-really-loud time. But I'm willing to sacrifice some of that to be a better person.

I choose to see this change as a positive thing for myself. I am going to grow and be better for it. I'm so relieved that my parents are okay with this. I'm so relieved to have the plans almost finalized. I'm glad I can finally stop bugging everyone around me by talking about it!

Today, I am full of hope.
