Long time, no talk friends.
I apologize for my little impromptu break - but with being sick, the holidays, and moving: everything kinda just caught up to me and I thought it would be best to just sit back, relax, and focus on myself and everything that needed to be done for a little while. Honestly, not writing and uploading a post the last two weeks was very daunting for me and weighed heavy on my heart; as this blog and writing are both extreme passions of mine. I am happier than ever to be back and to catch you all up on the last few weeks, as well as talk about reasons why I am excited about this new year.
For those who read my last blog post, at the beginning of December, you most likely know that my roommates and I came down with covid 19. Thankfully we all had extremely mild cases of it, and as I am sitting here writing to each of you right now we are free of symptoms, and healthy again. As mentioned in this article, the hardest part (at least for me) was the constant fatigue because I am such a go-go-go type of person; and the loss of taste/smell. A few days after publishing the post our senses began to come back - and when I tell you I cried tears of joy when I could first taste again, I am not joking lol. Even though it came back little by little, when I got the first sense of gain back I was ecstatic. Coming down with covid in itself is not only scary and stressful but when we did my stress and anxiety were heightened by a thousand. Yes, it was the holiday season, but we were also scheduled to move two days after Christmas on December 27th. By the grace of God by that day, my prayers had been answered and we were healed. The road to getting out of what we like to refer to as the hell hole of our old apartment was back on track. I kid you not though, the day we turned our keys in it had rained and we opened the door to double-check everything one last time to find out that the kitchen was flooded from a ceiling leak. And unfortunately, believe it or not - that was just the tip of the iceberg of the last year and a half lol. We may or may not have all flipped off the complex as we drove away from it (oops, sorry not sorry).
Flash forward to now, a Lil over a week in the new place - and we are soooo much happier (and no not just because this apartment has central AC - although that is a major plus and one of the reasons we chose here haha). To be able to finally cut ties with the old apartment and all of the negativeness, anxiety, and stress that it brought us is like a giant ass weight lifted off of our shoulders. This is the first place just the three of us have bought together and it is like a whole new beginning. *cue: we are the three best friends that anybody could haveeeee*
Even when this apartment was empty it already felt more like home than our previous place ever did. Over the course of the last two weeks, our days have been filled non stop with unpacking, cleaning, decorating, and shopping for more decorating. Boxes after boxes, and countless thumbtacks, nails, and command hooks later; slowly but surely our new home is coming together. Our living room is still a work in progress - and will be for a little while longer as we wait for our couch to arrive buuuut in the meantime on the other hand the aesthetics in my room are a mother freaking VIBE hardcore lol - and chances are I am in my record player corner or admiring the beautiful and empowering art that I was uber excited to purchase. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVED my old room but hey a new place and new year called for a Lil makeover ;)
If I am not listening to my vinyl or basking in the aesthetics than odds are I'm sitting at my desk and being the boss lady that I am (shakes my gold glitter 'get it girl' snowglobe and straightens my crown lol) I have so many creative ideas for this year and I can not wait to execute as many of them as possible and share em all with you guys!! :D
My mind is for real bursting like a volcano with how much I want to accomplish lol.
I'm even thinking of a little update for how the blog looks, what do you guys think??
And speaking of this, if there is anything specific that you guys would love to see me talk about, please let me know :D I always enjoy hearing yall’s input!
So here is to 2021 guys! <3
I know that this year has started off a bit rough already, and it can be hard to not let those rough times take control of your mind - but I believe that it is going to get better.
Everything will be ok in the end, and if it isn’t ok then it is not the end <3
My messages are always open if anyone ever needs to talk.
Stay happy, stay healthy, and stay safe.
<3 T
