Today we (my amazing fam & I) finished packing up this room. A room that seemed so foreign to me almost a year ago but that slowly I made into my own little sanctuary. I moved into this room during a very difficult time in my life, feeling broken, dealing with too many big changes for someone whose anxiety flares up with change. This room became my safe place to cry, treat myself to sushi, watch Harry Potter, fall apart, pull all nighters, take naps.... all as I struggled through an intensive breakup coupled with a heavy year of grad school, started therapy, the election and what followed, and learned to be okay by myself, love, & forgive myself. It may just be a room, but for me it was a place that allowed me a space to breathe & pull myself back together. As hard as it was at first, I know I would not have healed or pulled through had I not pushed myself out of my comfort zone & moved out. I put this room together the same way I put myself back together, it grew in decor as I grew as a person. It's been a year of sad things & great things. I'm proud of myself & where I'm at, even if somedays what's ahead isn't very clear. I'll miss you room. 💕🌷🦄 #change #growth #goodbyes #movingday #selflove #decoronpoint #myroom (at East Rock, New Haven)
