A New Beginning 2/9/21
I haven’t written about myself in a while, but I want to try it again on here since I enjoyed doing it in the past. The year is 2021, and I’m 28 years of age. It has been a year since the corona virus pandemic started which has changed the world possibly forever, but I feel grateful for the choices I made in my life and career which has me living very comfortably and fortunate to have a secure income and a stable home. I don’t know where I would be at right now if i decided to run away from my career in San Francisco. I knew that I would always have a job in the social worker field, but since my experience was valuable at different organizations I was able to jump to a few companies increasing my salary. I have been very happy and have been feeling a sense of accomplishment since I recently moved to a new apartment in the city. After living in a studio downtown for three years, I thought I was going to go crazy if I stayed living there any longer. I lived across a hospital, and would hear sirens from ambulances and fire trucks daily, and of course the occasional homeless screaming for his life. I was tired of the wild noises I would hear, and I did not like living on the first floor so I really wanted to move since the economy has been affected so badly from the pandemic that apartments price have dropped for the first time ever in San Francisco’s rental market. I have been hunting for a one bedroom apartment all over San Francisco for the same price I have been paying for for my studio and parking spade downtown. After months of apartment hunting, I found a one bedroom in Twin Peaks that has a balcony and a view of the east side of the city and I can see parts of the East Bay and boats that are coining in and out of the Bay. It’s a big difference from where I was at, and I am so much happier. I have so many things I plan to do but I wanted to check in since I don’t want to forget that I am capable of accomplishing things I put my mind to. I have some work to finish, but I plan to post things from time to time. Let’s see what happens.
Yours truly,
Edgar Haro
