I moved this weekend - 05/11/2025

so this weekend i moved to my first (solo) apartment! I had family and friends help me move and omg I could have not done it without them. firstly, I moved to a 3rd story apartment with no elevator, and it would have been impossible to move one my own! Secondly, literally some of my furniture is just too big for me to lift on my own. We had to take some of the furniture apart too, and at one point we literally had to hoise up a couch with rope because it wouldnt fit up the stairs to my apartment. My friends also helped reassemble furniture that we took apart for the move. My dad even came out as well to help. It just feels so nice to have so many caring people in my life :)! I was really worried with this new move I would feel lonely, but if any thing i feel a sense of apprication for my life. Im really grateful for the wonderful people im surrounded by, the opportunities that my family and friends support me with, and just moving was a really validating way of realizing it.

It was a very exhausting day, but it feels good to be able to accomplish so much, and be exhausted! Sometimes i feel like with my job, i dont really get a physical fatigue. Maybe i need to find a hobby that give me that physical fatigue. I used to do weight lifting for that, but honestly I kinda have come to dread it. I enjoy working out when its with friend, but going to a gym solo style is just feels uneasy tbh. I kinda wanna either find a way to move my body that doesnt make me feel socially uneasy, or maybe find a group workout thing to do? Or maybe start like painting while standing again.

but ya, now i finally have internet again in my new house. Thank god because my ass is chronically online, plus i need internet as I do work from home for my job.

heres a list of things i am grateful for:

none of my things broke during the move
my family and friends all being super supportive and helpful during the move
Zelda my cat has not freaked out and hid this time

last time i moved she hid in my house and we could not find her LOL

My parents came again the next day to help me:

unpack and move furniture to the right rooms
Buy things for my house
just mentally & physically help me get things done. I was so overwhelmed by the amount of boxes needed to be unpacked

Myself for packing things slowly, getting internet before i moved, and scheduling/cordnating people to help me move

feeling grateful & joyful
