New Digs & Unexpected Turns

Hey diary, or should I say the interwebs? 😅

Okay, so I’ve just moved into this new apartment, right? It’s like, way bigger, which is fabulous but goodness, the unpacking is an actual nightmare. Boxes, bags and bubble wrap everywhere. They are screaming for me to unpack them and I’m just screaming back… for help. Amid all this chaos, I completely blanked on setting up a change of address at the post office. Classic Macie, lol. Totally need to get on that, like yesterday, or who knows what fun mail I’ll be missing out on.

Oh, and speaking of yesterday, saw the cutest dog prancing down the street. It was this fluffy golden doodle just bouncing along like it owned the place. Brightened up my whole unpacking mood, promise.

But like, it’s not all stress and to-do lists. I went for a pumpkin spice latte earlier (don’t judge the basic, it’s too good), and bumped into this super cute guy at the coffee shop. I mean like, literally bumped into him. My coffee went all splish-splash but didn’t spill, thank the stars. He was all smiles and sparkly eyes. So, not the smoothest of meets but hey, could be the start of something, right? 🙈

Ooo, and my new friend Jordan, who’s been an absolute doll helping me move, just texted me and now we’re Snapchat friends too. It’s the little things, honestly, that make this mess feel not so bad.

In the middle of all this, I’m sitting here and this cute little birdie comes fluttering against my window. Like, hello little friend. Thanks for checking in on me. It just perched there, staring as if it knew I needed a tiny bit of chirpy cheer. It felt, I don’t know, kind of magical, to be honest.

But wait, I’ve got to say, life’s not all doom and gloom, despite the unexpected move and all the chaos. I’m totally loving exploring this new city. It’s an adventure for sure, every corner holds something exciting and new. I mean, as an online web writer, I’m all about finding the stories and the sparkles in the everyday. It’s like, the world is my oyster or whatever they say.

But there’s like, a tiny dark cloud, just hanging around. I don’t wanna get all deep and mysterious, but the move here? It was kinda unwanted and sudden. I didn’t really have a say in the whole situation. I’m making the best of it, you know? Trying to keep the vibes positive and the energy flowing. But between you and me, Diary, it feels like there’s this part of the story still hidden in the shadows.

But hey, onwards and upwards, right? I’m all about chasing the light, finding the joy and making new pals (human and furry). Honestly can’t wait for all the adventures, the unexpected coffee dates, the cute dog sightings, and hey, maybe even another magical bird visit. It’s a whole new chapter and despite the mystery and the mayhem, I’m here for it all. Life’s wild ride doesn’t wait, so

I’m buckling up and hanging on tight for whatever comes next. 🌟

And speaking of wild rides, the city nightlife here is something else! Everyone’s always up and about, the streets buzz with energy and life even after the sun sets. The food, oh the food! Food trucks at every corner, serving everything from tacos to falafels, and the desserts are to die for. I’ve been trying to keep up my fitness, running around the local park. It’s huge and beautiful with this lovely lake right in the middle. Perfect spot for morning yoga and weekend picnics.

I’ve met a few neighbors too, a mix of families, and young net workers like myself. They’ve been warm and welcoming, sharing local tips and favorite spots around town. It’s comforting, really helps to make this place feel more like home.

Okay, so the apartment is still a mess and I’ve got a list a mile long of things to sort out, but I’m feeling hopeful. The change was abrupt and jarring, I admit, I didn’t want this at all initially. It felt like being uprooted and tossed into the unknown. But sometimes, the unexpected turns lead to the most beautiful paths. And who knows, this rocky start might just be leading to a delightful adventure. I’m putting my faith in the future and letting the journey unfold, one day at a time.

Till next time

Macie
