No one ever said growing up would be easy. No one said finding an apartment would be easy. Thank God. If someone says that to me, I’ll punch them.
On Thursday I found out that the girl I was looking for apartments with can’t afford to do it anymore.
Friday afternoon, I found a place that I loved with every ounce of myself.
On Saturday, A’s entire family drove up from Maryland
On Sunday I found out I got the apartment.
Sunday night I realized that even though I loved it, I could just barely afford it. I could but it would be a lot of barely scraping by.
So this morning, I had to let it go.
I cried a lot about it. I want so badly to be independent, in a place that I love.
It seems like I keep getting close, and then it slips away again. It is so frustrating.
I guess this is adulthood though - learning how to give up what you want dearly now for the promise of a better future.

Ah, apartment hunting can be SO tough! I know we had to do it TWICE last year, because our first place got infested with termites (fun, right?). I totally believe that everything happens for a reason though, and am sure you'll find a place that you love! Can't wait to see pics when you do :)
