\n I\u2019ve officially been living on my own for a month.
\n <\/em>\n <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n \"\"\n <\/p>\n

\n It\u2019s been one month since I moved into my own apartment, and I gotta be honest \u2014 it\u2019s everything I\u2019ve ever wanted\u2026and more. Sure, I lived \u201con my own\u201d in college. And even last year, I was pretty much on my own throughout COVID. But there was always that \u201cI\u2019m going to go home now\u201d feeling (aka back to my parents\u2019 house). I didn\u2019t have any of the responsibilities that came with living on your own \u2014 rent, cooking, cleaning, etc. But after a month, I couldn\u2019t be happier.\n <\/p>\n

\n Over the last month, I\u2019ve just been feeling an overwhelming sense of happiness \u2013 like I\u2019m exactly where I belong at this point in time. As I\u2019m writing this, I saw that

\n Grace posted a little check in over her on blog
\n <\/a>
\n <\/em>
\n <\/strong>
\n . It came at just the right time, because my thoughts are a little all over the place right now! I took a page from here book and decided to make this post more of a little check in (as opposed to me just TRULY word vomiting over the screen LOL). So I would love if YOU could also jump in on the conversation, as I\u2019d love to catch up with you too!\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n How are you feeling?
\n <\/strong>
\n <\/em>
\n I can\u2019t stop saying how happy I am. I really can\u2019t think of ONE thing that I\u2019m unhappy with in my life. Work is great. I love my new neighborhood \u2013 Rob and I have been exploring the area on the weekends together which has been so fun. I\u2019ve also been taking morning walks and just soaking it all in. I haven\u2019t been this happy in a long time \u2013 I feel like I\u2019m exactly where I\u2019m supposed to be. Work has been busy. I feel like I\u2019m definitely failing as a blogger (DRAMATICCCC). I really used to pride myself on the fact that I managed a full time job and my blog. But then life just kind of got in the way. I didn\u2019t feel like writing or taking a lot of pictures. My creativity was just at a low point. To me, I\u2019d rather not put out any content than put out half assed content.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n What is your city like?
\n <\/em>
\n <\/strong>
\n New York City is coming back \u2013 I feel it. Things are opening up \u2014 we\u2019re allowed to sit at bars and just order drinks (previously you had to order food if you wanted alcohol), in a few weeks the 12am curfew will be lifted, and in July the city plans to reopen at 100% with no restrictions (but masks may still be required). I can tell people are out and about more. I\u2019ve been to two classes so far \u2014 indoor SoulCycle and outdoor yoga \u2014 and I wanted to cry both times. It felt SO good to be back in that group fitness setting. I have a feeling this summer is going to be a good one.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n Social anxiety?
\n <\/em>
\n <\/strong>
\n
\n <\/em>
\n Grace talked about this in her post, and I can 1000% relate. I was talking to my friend last week about how I get anxious when someone is near me \u2014 whether it\u2019s on the subway, on the sidewalk, or in the store. It\u2019s weird to think about interacting with people in a social setting again. Small talk? Never did well with it. And I certainly did not miss it. I think everyone will be in that adjustment period (especially in New York), so at least we\u2019ll all be in the same boat. I would seriously love nothing more than to go back to my office. Unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019ll happen until September (and even then it\u2019ll be on a part-time basis), but I\u2019ll take it. I just really miss hanging with coworkers, bouncing ideas off each other, and doing my job IN PERSON!!!\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n Travel?
\n <\/em>
\n <\/strong>
\n Hell yeah I want to travel. Now that I\u2019m fully vaccinated, I\u2019m itching to do something. I still don\u2019t really know what the rules are in other states, countries, etc., and I\u2019m not in a rush necessarily\u2026but a getaway definitely feels needed. I thought it was so funny that Grace mentioned continuing to wear masks on planes \u2014 because SAME. I ALWAYS get sick after being on a plane. When I was on a flight the last time (last August), I didn\u2019t get a cold! It was amazing LOL. So I think I\u2019m really going to stick to wearing a mask on flights going forward.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n Something you\u2019re loving right now?
\n <\/strong>
\n <\/em>
\n I mentioned a earlier in this post that I\u2019ve been going for coffee walks in the morning. For most of the pandemic, I woke up .2 minutes before I had to open my laptop to start working. I didn\u2019t really have a sense of routine. Sure, life was really weird last year, but I think if I had had some type of routine, things would have felt somewhat \u201cnormal\u201d. Regardless, I\u2019m on week 2 of this new routine and it\u2019s honestly been AWESOME.\n <\/p>\n

\n I would love it if you answered these questions too! A lil check in is always a good idea!!! SO, HOW ARE YOU?\n <\/p>\n
