Dream or Nightmare?
2022 was the year I became an adult. I don’t mean I turned 18, no, I was 22. What I mean is that I hit every single milestone that would classify as ‘part of growing up’. In February, I moved out of my parents house and into my very first apartment. Alone. There wasn’t a single scrap of food, decorative mug, or pair of socks in that apartment that wasn't mine. It was a dream come true. However, being the sole housekeeper to a 700 square foot home proved harder than I thought. Dishes pile up, laundry gets put off, and don’t get me started with grocery shopping. (Seriously, I was at Wegmans 3 times a week.) As time went on I got better at managing it but putting responsibilities before play is never fun.
