The house is small, yet has ample storage for all of my shit so it worked. Little did we know the landlord would be taking back the house from the rental company and his customer service would be a joke. We were charged random fees, had unexpected visits, threatening emails, the list goes on. While these individuals have piss poor people and management skills, this little place became my cute home for the past 9 months.
Fast forward to now, my boyfriend has just this week graduated from college (congrats b!!) and bought a freaking house. Words can't express how much I admire his hard work and accomplishments. We will be moving into the new place in just 2 short weeks! So just a little back story, we looked for a few months at fixer uppers and that was the plan to buy something and then update the whole damn thing. However, after months of searching and saving Adam found a house that had just been flipped and is now brand spanking new. This has me SO excited, let me tell ya. The colors are gorgeous, the counters are perf, its main color is grey (my fave) and it's just the cutest. So Mackenzie, what on earth is this post about you may ask? About my nerves to leave this tiny rental for the beautiful home adam bought. While my excitement to move in is through the damn roof, I still find myself being a little bummed about leaving the rental. I did the same thing last year with our old house and while I feel so silly, the memories made in this house have brought me so much happiness. The distance to campus and work is close and brings me convenience which I love. We’ve raised our sweet pup to be a little shit in this place and she loves the ease of having a fenced in yard to run laps around. Is this place the best? Good lord no, we have ran into so many issues here that I will be happy to leave behind me. Yet I love our cozy living room and memories here! However, the new place will offer more space, room to add a fence, upgraded appliances, and bigger closets. What comes down to it, its the comfort and routine that I’ve developed here that I’m nervous to let go. Will I love the new house? Most definitely. But getting myself to let go of my comfort I've developed here will be the key. I think another thing that has my nerves running wild is the fact that I will be done with college in just ONE YEAR. Seeing Adam do all of these adult things reminds me of how quickly it's approaching for me. Changes take time and most importantly take patience. It's human nature to be nervous of new changes, but letting go of the nervousness and fear is a must to avoid being stuck in the past. As I'm sitting here avoiding packing I'm reminding myself there are so many exciting things to come and it's time to move forward. Take leaps of faith and welcome changes people!
