    When I finally left Chicago it felt like a weight was lifted off of my entire being. Chicago was all I knew and I thought I loved it but now that it's been years apart I realize how heavy the city is.

    I don't think you know how much this has changed my way of thinking. I've been stuck in this loop of not wanting to live my life because, like you I wanna move to a new apartment and so I've been putting myself off. So thank you I really appreciate your help❤

    Crates are great! You really shouldn't need to fake it till you make it. Just have the confidence that you all ready have what it takes. If you are missing something in your ingredients to make it than go out and get it.

    well, its certainly understandable why you've been stuck, I know rent prices in chicago are crazy expensive, i dont know how people afford it there!! My first place was a small house and the rent was $375/ mnth and i remember thinking $700/mnth was too high. The rents will come down again nation wide, they always fluctuate just like the housing bubble burst in 2008 and then houses got cheap a few years.

    I see, this is very true, our perceptions, I can't pretend to know everything either because we never stop learning on this journey, the path.. it's all divine timing" you didn't move yet because you weren't supposed to* things happen when they are meant to happen, your realization of asking yourself what's slowing you down simply means it's time, and the thing that was keeping you where you where was just Fate, nothing more about any good or bad reason about self, was it that you where not ready? Or that your new environment was not ready for you? There is an energy and an effect we have on everything around us, we cause ripples.. excuse me if I sound crazy 😅, anyway.. your god damn beautiful, very talented and intelligent, remind yourself that your awesome for Christ sake, you got this.

    Damn, change is good.. but ugh does it hit you in the feels sometimes… I’d been working with a really cool and just super outgoing lady who’s been my boss at work for just over a year and a half.. somehow we hit it off.. we clicked, I feel we could read each other without one speaking a word.. I love her energy, and way of being and I semi sorta fell in love with that.. told me a few months ago she planned on leaving do to not being happy there.. a lot of people just weighing down on her.. she didn’t feel many cared that she cared so much about just doing the work to get us on track to be a better store.. she busted her behind working late hours, staying later than I felt she should.. overworked.. also our main boss just letting her deal with most of the heavy work.. she told me just a few weeks ago she wouldn’t be there forever to which my response was I know.. I can’t expect that.. of course a lot of us move on and hopefully will to better at some point… I didn’t think it’d be so soon.. she told me a few days ago this was her last week.. that broke me. Think she saw it in my reaction and facial expression.. feel she knew how I felt.. it’s just one of those… we both Chose different paths… one of her biggest things was she felt her hard work wasn’t appreciated very much. I felt terrible she felt that way because of how I felt about her.. told her it bummed me out, so.. yesterday was the last day I worked with her since she’s off today and I’m off tomorrow.. got her a card and couple of gift cards.. it’s not enough to me but that at least she gets that I cared for her from it is better to me than her to feel absolutely no one cared.. so.. last day now.. she’s gone.. it’s a tough change for me.. she’s gone.. tough change for her.. she has to start anew elsewhere…she said she’ll be around since she lives nearby and all but eh still heartbreaking to me., I can only wish her well and look ahead. Hope for the best maybe somewhere down the road this change was the best thing for both of us

    Hmmm well when I started this vlog I was just doing it for myself so I wasn't necessarily fearful since I didn't feel like anyone was really watching. So my advice would be to just start and don't overthink it. Just be genuine in making art that you enjoy.

    You are probably a millenial, but this video really does scream Gen X. Not just the camcorder quality but the existential angst that so many teenagers had in the '90s. Grunge music encapsulated our dread over a world that made no sense to us.
