I can see that you still lack the required Nutella to make the ultimate Ritz snack… hmmm, a housewarming gift coming your way, perhaps?!?!

And just think, by moving out of your current apartment, you’re opening it up for someone else to have the opportunity to live in the heart of Manhattan for cheap! It’s like, paying it forward.

And when you move to Brooklyn, it will be a whole new kind of haven.

When I moved from Astoria, where I’d lived for over 6 years, to Brooklyn to live with Kevin, I was really worried and scared. I’d lived alone in Astoria and also with roommates at times, but all those experiences were still very independent experiences for me. I was able to create lots of little havens and personal spaces that were ideal for the time and I really grew up, in a sense, during that time.

But then I grew out of it and it was time to move on, for whatever reason. I outgrew my space, wanted to cook and clean and bike ride and stretch my wings a bit. And just my luck, there was a perfect place in Brooklyn waiting for me with open arms where I could do that. Every once in a blue moon I miss queens, and more than that, I miss my independence, I miss not living with someone so intimately. But there are also wonderful things about living with someone. And I have a new kind of independence here. I’m learning new things about myself all the time from this shift. Change is essential.

Someday we’ll probably move away from Brooklyn, or from this apartment at least, because what is currently perfect won’t be someday. That’s how it goes. People shift and morph.

I know you’re going to just LOVE this shift. Everything you’ve been talking about wanting to do and be, all the things you’ve been daydreaming about inviting into your life, are more breathable and livable out here. It’s different. Can’t wait for you to arrive.

And I think you are dead on that where you are now was absolutely perfect for the time you’ve had it. And now something new will be perfect.

LONG ASS COMMENT, JEN.

Yeah, actually, I hadn’t wanted to bring “the big guys” into my annoyance with this guy before, but after this incident I’m definitely going to look into it.

Thank you guys for your concern & support!
