Small Win: I am decorating my home :)
My n-relationships were my parents and ex-husband, so I’ve lived among *them* for my whole life, until my final discard in February of last year when I was thrown out with no notice. I lucked out and moved right into a lovely apartment, but never really *moved in* if you know what I mean. I kept my suitcases nearby and couldn’t part with my moving boxes. The eggshells followed me here.
Its been a little over a year now, and for the first time in my life, I feel enough agency and permanence to decorate my home to reflect my personality. I hung some meaningful art and ordered pillow covers, plants, cozy blankets, and some odds and ends in my favorite colors. It feels like a huge splurge, and I am giddy with excitement over finally having a home that I find serene and joyful and beautiful. Just wanted to share with a community that might understand... Hope you all are having a refreshing and revitalizing Spring!
