A place to stayyy :)

So anyway.

Today I went to meet with the landlord of another inexpensive apartment in BK, and it looks like things may be a go with this one. The last one that I was so excited about didn't work out because the landlord wanted one of my folks to cosign despite me being employed full time and able to pay the rent. I was mad/hurt/sad for a little bit cuz I had my sights set on it...it was really cute...nice windows...cozy and homey...and only $950 a month...but the landlord was an a-hole so I'm sure it all worked out for the better. The place I'm looking at now is $900...it's a studio apt with an extra room, so it actually looks and feels like a jr 1-br apt...it's really cute, also...the landlord is a black man (a plus for me in gentrifying brooklyn) who seems really nice...the neighborhood is borderline bushwick/bed-stuy and is really, really close to my school...it's near the J/M/Z train lines though, which will take some getting used to, as I have been riding the A/C lines my entire life...i took my gf with me to see it because I can get so emotionally attached to a place and forget to ask the really important questions...she was a big help for me...I'm so EXCITED to finally move out soon...I'm gonna begin moving next weekend hopefully...i really feel like many things in my life will just finally fall into place when i'm in my own space that i've created...i feel like i'll be more on point, more centered, more ready to handle life...and i cant fucking wait because my bookshelf is gonna be so on point...yes, i'm excited about my bookshelf...and my coffee table that's gonna have books on it...and my wall space that gonna be so feng shui-ed......and yes, yes, yes i cant waittttttttt
