when he left, I told him it felt like my life was over, he said, "for some reason you can't see how amazing your life is because you're so focused on this relationship." I hate to say it but he was right. I moved into this apartment completely broken. for days I hadn't eaten, hadn't slept. my best friend saved me, because I couldn't. but inside these four walls, I rebuilt everything. I found happiness again. I rediscovered parts of myself and my personality that I had lost in my 12 year relationship. parts that are so vital to who I am. parts that I am so proud of. I became someone I never imagined I could be. I love this life I built. I love this little apartment I was forced to move into. it became my favorite place on earth. these four walls picked me up when I was at my lowest and helped me grow into who I am today. and somehow, today is the last time I will ever be inside these walls. nothing could ever replace the lessons the past two years have taught me. I am so grateful for this place and this chapter, I will look back on it fondly until the end of my days. thank you New York, I love you <3
