Question of the day: Can one spend too many hours on Craigslist?
I'm not sure of the answer, but if it is "yes," I am terribly guilty. We're hunting these days for our new home and furniture, and it feels so weird. So adult. Yesterday I purchased a used bedroom set. It doesn't feel like me, but after a paint job, it is going to be spectacular. For the past four years, I've lived in cookie-cutter dorms with pre-ordained furniture. I haven't had to do one thing for myself outside of hanging a tapestry or two. I'm stoked for the opportunity to make this next place a welcoming, creative, and personal space. The mental vision is beautiful... we'll see what I think of the results!
As excited as I am, I also wonder if I'll even be here in one year. I have no clue. For the first time in my life, I have no plan. I am focusing on TODAY. And no words can describe the feeling exactly. What I have is mine, but it belongs to others, too, and I am excited to share, learn, and figure it out from scratch. Much inspires me- from the DIY decorating ideas found on Google to the Spanish prayer uttered in church on Sunday after the bluegrass set and the hole-in-the wall coffee shop I passed on my walk with the twins-and I have a new idea every day. Good thing I'm only 22.
