Here I sit in my new apartment after the first night of sleeping in it. My roommate is at the dining table on the computer, our blinds and sliding door are open, the dog is wandering somewhat suspiciously around and it doesn’t really feel like home yet. Often, I catch myself referring to my parents’ house as home and have to stop and take it back.

I am moving out. I am signing a lease on Tuesday. I am moving to Shoreline next week. I am no longer going to be living with my parents and siblings after nearly 20 years. This is ridiculous.
