It's been officially 2 weeks that I've been living in my new place. Spent most days depressed about being in this big space, regretting my decision. But after visiting New York this weekend I remembered why it was so important to me to get my own space here in Baltimore. 

There's nothing like having your own. 

I am grateful for my clean bed 

I am grateful for my pup 

I am grateful for having a living room as my library and a separate space just for my bed and only my bed 

I am grateful for a closet that keeps my clothes behind closed doors 

I am grateful for large windows

I am grateful for purchasing a 4 piece sectional couch that I decided to take apart and spread throughout the living room 

I am grateful for my record and magazine collection 

I am grateful that roses never die, they wilt 

I am grateful for the sound of the air 

I am grateful for the thin walls that allow me to hear other people's televisions at night, a reminder that I am not alone 

I am grateful for taking my time and journeying based on the voice that guides me from within 

I am grateful for my one candle that has lasted for these two weeks 

I am grateful for getting out of a place that not meant to be permanent 

I am grateful for knowing that this too is temporary 

I am grateful for finally enjoying my blessing 

I am grateful to know that I am not wrong for being a little ungrateful sometimes, it's just who we are sometimes 

I am grateful for always thinking and over thinking 

I am grateful for learning to say yes or no and just relaxing 

I am grateful for being myself and making my own lane

I am grateful for being socially awkward and not caring about it 

I am grateful for caring when it matters 

I am grateful for being forgiven 

I am grateful for my spirit of discernment

I am grateful for knowing that people will always come back around in their own time 

I am grateful for learning that it's not always about me but it is always about the God in me
