Look who fell off the face of the planet again? Meeeeeeeeee. Sorry about that.
I decided to take a biiiig step away from the internet for a while. I would look at a few sites here and there, but that was about it. I needed to step back, breathe, and take a good long look at a lot of things.
A lot has happened while I was gone.
My future husband, his cousin, and I struggled for several months for apartment hunting. Either places would turn us down due to one person's credit score being slightly low, or the landlord never got back to us/showed up, or other room mates dropping out.... several times. But at the end of last September, we finally moved into our own apartment! We're a little further west of downtown Chicago, but its a very lovely area and we would always come out here for all the food places and the mall before the move so it works out. We have everything that we could ever need over here too and the have all the big art/craft stores out here too.
I plan on being married here within the next couple of months. Nothing too exciting, just going down to the courthouse and doing it that way. Neither him or I are too big into a big flashy ceremony, not to mention we don't have the money for one even if we wanted it. Super excited for that. Only downside is people bugging us even more for us to have kids already. Just not ready for that yet.
I've also cut out some toxic people in my life, and sadly a few of those people were family members. They had a hard time understanding that I couldn't let people who were gone a big chunk of my life back in so easily, not to mention I was getting phone calls/text messages everyday asking what I was doing and who I was with all the time. And if I wasn't doing something they thought I should be doing, they would scold me like I was a 2 year old. I don't know, I just don't like being treated like I'm a child when I'm almost 24.
I'm not 100% sure when I'd be back fully on here again, so if anyone ever wants to talk I still have Discord and on there pretty much everyday. If you need my username, feel free to ask for it and get a hold of me anytime!
