MOVING OUT AND MOVING ON



Obviously, I haven’t written an entry for nearly three weeks now. I’m a busy man, you see. The past weeks have been a rollercoaster ride and some of the tasks that I need to accomplish demands so much of my time and concentration. The biggest job so far was moving to a new apartment. Yup! I recently transferred to a new place which is now very convenient because it’s closer to the office, the malls and chuches. I won’t go into the nitty-gritty details as to why I transferred. Suffice it to say that I felt so relieved with my decision to move out since the whole experience has been physically and emotionally draining.

In hindsight, if there’s one thing I learned from this experience it is that when you live with someone, everything isn’t always your way. According to an article I read online, sharing a place can be difficult especially with friends. Sometimes you think you know someone well, but once you move in with them, everything changes. Living together is not the same as hanging out. Once you share a common living space, all of the oddities and habits are revealed. And subsequently, it’s where problems or issues begin and could sometimes lead to the ending of friendship.

Right now, I am more appeased. I can rest soundly. I am no longer bothered and inconvenienced. I am happier.

After all that’s been said and done, I can honestly say that my moving out was all worth it.
