Day 7/30: The Living room
I have spent hours and hours
over the past two years sitting in our living room
it was the seven of us
we somehow fit in that small room
but it was a safe space
we talked about everything
life, career, dating
all the highs and lows
these people who began as strangers
ended up creating the most comforting and open space
-
I write in my journal everyday — and every time we had a roomie hangout
it was for sure in the highlights of my day
-
As we close this chapter of being roommates
I forever cherish having this experience
getting ready together, tea times, post night out debriefs, date debriefs,
school stress, movie nights, mario kart, the hugs, the tears
-
I think about the life I wanna continue to live
And it consists of constantly finding this room
with people who are open, accepting and inclusive
I will forever cherish
the hours and hours I spent
sitting in our living room
