thank you for giving me a home
thank you for giving me what i really needed,
what i really needed to experience and feel.
where i finally feel safe
i don't have to worry
i have my own space
i wish i could tell you that we did it
we actually lived in the apartment complex you dreamed about
you drove past them often while in the back of the car,
daydreaming about what life would be like if you lived there
how impossible it seemed
i can't believe january 2023 was this year,
life has changed so much.
i've been so incredibly lucky
for i see the world differently now, what a blessing that is
i am capable of the things i once thought were too out of my ability
oh, how others words can shape your perception
i'm going to miss you, apartment 319. although you only housed me for the last half of my final university semester, we've made so many memories.
i wish i could stay forever.
i hope the next person you have under your roof is as grateful as i,
because i know how blessed i am to be here
please look after them - i know you will
i don't want this chapter to end, i wish it would never end
these walls could tell many stories that are worthy of a book.
you experienced my transition into my 20s, a scary time
but you let me know i had a safe place to rest
here's to a new chapter, a new beginning
i wonder what this summer will bring
thank you for being there for me, i love you!
i hope you liked my poster of the smiths as much as i do (:
