Moving, Again
- by Brittney
Sometime in the next week, I’ll be finding a place to live in Des Moines and moving there before starting my new job next Monday. This post could be filled with the tribulations of packing and finding someone to take over my lease, but that’s been done. It’s oddly similar to what I blogged about exclusively about three months ago. I could wax poetic about how if you’re unhappy in your life, you should just change it, though I’m not sure I yet qualify as the grand authority on that. I am over the moon about my new position, though if it hadn’t have happened to come available when it did, I’d probably still be at my desk job, secretly loathing my life and this city. That brings me to something I think about often, how I could just speak honestly about how much I don’t love Chicago. I don’t hate it, but I’ve never liked it. There are many cities in this world to which I could give my heart, but The Windy City has never been one of them. I realize this is blasphemy to the dozens of people I personally know who would bleed for their city. That’s great for them, it’s just not for me. I’m certainly not running back to Des Moines because that’s a place I couldn’t live without, but having been away for a bit does make me appreciate it a heck of a lot more than when I had just graduated.
So, for now, I’ve got nothing. This might also very, very possibly be my last post here & I might just switch on over to BrittneyW.com. I probably won’t post any more frequently, but what’s the point of owning your domain name if you’re not using it? (Now the link isn’t working, great. Well, it exists.)
And now, I leave you with this little gem: What To Do When You Disagree With a Blog Post. It’s hilarious and speaks to everyone who has at least one blog troll (their word, not mine, but I kind of like it.) See you all back in the 515!
