Thursday I signed the lease on my own apartment, and Stuffy helped me move the big stuff. I had spent my last night at the basement ever. Since then I’ve been setting things up, and now it looks like I live there, kinda. The bathroom is pretty much done. My room is the most bare at the moment, but it’s getting there. On Tuesday, my cable/internet gets turned on.

On the whole I think I’ll like living alone. We’ll see how it plays out. I do enjoy having the run of my own place. I also think that it’ll help me appreciate my friends better.

I’ve been thinking a bit about friendship lately. In college, we all were getting to know each other and ourselves, and everything was interesting. Maybe it’s just that I’m burnt out from the past few months, but I just don’t crave to be around my friends as much lately. Perhaps this is just the next phase in a relationship.

I think this is probably the first time I’ve been friends with the same people for this long. Sure, I grew up with the same people in grade school and then high school, but I was really only good friends with a handful, and only in high school. Now I’ve been close friends with people here for 6 years. I know them so well (or at least I think I do) that there’s not much more learning to be done. Not that it’s a bad thing.

I think most of this has to do with being burnt out.

P.S. My favorite PostSecret this week: Battle.
