A New Chapter

I’m sitting on the floor of my new apartment. I guess I forgot to mention that it’s unfurnished… Well, it will be for about a week. Fortunately, I am getting free furniture.

I guess that's what happens when you move to a cheaper apartment, about $300-400 a month cheaper than my old place. I have to give up only a few things and it is WELL worth the cost.

Thank God for my mother who helped me financially and my friend, Brandi, who helped me move. I am beyond blessed.

I went to finish cleaning my old apartment earlier and right before I left, I said a prayer in the living room for the person who is moving in after me. I prayed that no matter what comes their way, that God leads them and helps them through it, as He did for me. I don't know if I will ever meet whoever moves in after me, but I prayed a lot of blessings upon them.

I feel as if I am entering a new chapter in my life. It’s been nearly four months since my last hospitalization and each day, I am feeling better and better. I battle some paranoia, but I’m getting through it and moving forward. Let me say that again... I'm moving forward.

I am going to miss my old apartment, because it was my first apartment I ever had. It was simple and did the job well. As I wrote last night, I have some very fond memories of it. It got me through some of the most difficult times in my life. When I packed, I kept finding another hospital bracelet. (Don’t know why I was collecting them).

So now is a new chapter… my last semester of graduate school...

Cheers!
