For the past couple days I actually feel like I’m starting to feel some of the magic and wonder for life that I love! 😁 Idk if it will last, but I’m definitely gonna enjoy it as much as possible! It’s been super fun!

Part of it is cuz I moved and I’m still so excited about the place and that I actually want to live here for a while. ❤️‍🔥 May not seem like a big deal, but I’ve moved 6 times in the past 3 years. It’s been exhausting but I also learned a lot about the kinds of things I value in my living space. And this one feels different. When I’m there I feel like I’m home, and whenever I come back it feels like I’m going home. It’s not just a temporary spot to fill, but a home for me. And that’s huge! I wanna stay for a while and make it the most beautiful home space it can be for me. 😁

Part of it is that it’s a small little spot, privately owned, and just everything about it feels more cozy. The manger is super friendly, helpful, responsive, and I can text him about issues and that feels much better than big emails that larger apartments force you to use. The space also feels pretty well balanced. The only thing I sometimes feel constrained by is the kitchen. But the bedroom is really spacious and that soooo nice 🤩 and the living area has a cool layout that has been trickier than I thought, but I’m mostly enjoying it. The constraints have been fun to play in rather than being overwhelming.

I’m really enjoying the chance to approach my living space differently than I have in the past and I’ve come up with quite a few changes that I’m really satisfied with. One is something that I’ve been working on for a pretty long time. I call it my “creativity station” or “creativity playground”. It’s not finished, but I want to have a spot where I can focus on creative things like music , maybe pottery, maybe art. Idk. It’s gonna evolve with me and I’m not totally sure what it will become.

I feel like I’m organizing things better too and finding space for more things that feel like a “home” for them. I like to do this so that the space feels organized and both aesthetically pleasing and more enjoyable to live in/use.

Anyway, it’s really cool that there’s some magic back in my life! ✨
