moving on...

As is the norm with living in an apartment... my lease is up. which means I've been pondering my options: 1) stay in my current too small studio apartment with not enough room for me and the dog OR 2) look for something else. Total no brainer right? I thought so too. 

It just so happens that my mom decided on a whim to buy a house, leaving 6 months left on her current lease up for grabs. Score! So with that said, I'm happy to announce Pressly and I are moving in 2 weeks. I couldn't be more excited to get into a bigger space! And I love that one of my fellow aerie girls will be my neighbor... not to mention a finally have a whole apartment to decorate any way I choose.

On a more serious note... this past weekend has brought to light some much needed changes that I need to make.  I won't go into the details of what happened or the parties involved because it's not really that important but I will say this:  I live my life for me and no one else.  I won't be someone's doormat or verbal punching bag.  I make no apologies for standing up for myself and doing what I think is right.  If you don't like it- not my problem.  There are far too many amazing things in life to focus on instead of people who try to make you feel unimportant.

So with that said I leave you with this: You are wanted. Someone, somewhere cares about you and only wants what's best for you. People who try to make you feel worthless and small have some complex within themselves that makes them lash out and cause you pain.  As long as you stay true to who you are and treat people how you want to be treated... nothing else matters.
