At this exact moment in life, even though everything is pretty scary in the world, at this exact moment, I am pretty happy. 10 years ago I moved in with my dad to help him out after my mom died. Almost 3 years ago I quit my job and moved to CO. It was a disaster. Tears–a lot of them–were shed. For the next 2.5 years I was always one step away from homeless. Almost a year ago (it’ll be a year in July and that’s only 4 months away) I started this job which…whatever, hasn’t been the best but I’m still there. But today I have been putting together bookcases and putting my books away. For the first time in almost 3 years my books have a home. For the first time in a decade my books have a home thats mine. The world is a scary place right now, but here I am on my own adorable couch, in my tiny apartment surrounded by books. And in this moment I’m completely happy.
And im about to go watch a drama so I’m SURE I’ll be ranting before the night is out!

    I’m so happy for you, Isa. There is nothing in the world like the feeling of security that comes from stable housing.

    This is exactly the kind of thing I needed to read today, isa. I’m so happy for you! Everything I’ve witnessed you go through from how you narrate it in your posts… it sure has been a rollercoaster, and I’m glad you’ve finally found some solid ground, and I hope things only continue to go up for you from here <3

    Lovely to hear that you’ve got your own place, however humble.

    I hope you can experience this happiness more often from now on. You have more than earned it by now. Keep telling us about the good and the bad, that is what Beanies are for!❤️

    A moment for your Star Pocket 🙂

    Everyone lives similarly. There’s not much difference. Although our lives are about the same, sometimes there are moments that sparkle. Whenever that happens, don’t let it get away. Save them in your star pocket. That way, when things get tough or when you get tired, you can take out a star at a time and get through it.
