A Room of My Own

Description

Last month I found a long-term place to stay and have been arranging things to make this my permanent address.  For the first time in a little over a year and a half, I'm not living somewhere that has a timer on it.  I've found a job that lets me pay rent and eat, which has gone a long way to helping me feel like I'm taking back control of my life.

Still getting used to a lot of things.  The bed is too big, too empty.  The place is too quiet, too lonely.  The food is--definitely bachelor chow.  Despite all that, I'm a healthier shade of green than when I arrived in the States last year thinking that everything had ended.

I am tired but excited, sad but hopeful, and resentful about some things but grateful for many more.

I still have my life ahead of me and there's much work to be done!
