dear old apartment,

when it comes down to it you were a pretty sweet place to live for two years. definitely old. definitely a bit falling apart-y. but you carry a lot of memories you do. i've had two different kit kats live in you. i've stopped dating someone very lovely whilst living in you. i also met and started dating two amazing folks whilst living in you. i could watch the airplanes fly in over the lake while lying on my couch. and i could see the beautiful neon aldi sign right out my window. you have the absolute best people watching view ever. third floor looking out onto a main street above a bar. you had character. you had a separate bedroom. you were pretty quiet all in all.

i mean....we've had our rough times. let's be honest.. the bathroom renovation nastiness. the someone stealing my birthday packages-ness. the assorted bugs. the falling apart kitchen floors. the occasional no heat. or the more often sweltering temperature that made the photos on my walls curl up and fall off and me super not fun sweats-ville u.s.a. the weird thump thump thump music late at night. the most awkward pound on the door with no notice janitor ever. more assorted bugs.

but i will miss you. that's my point old apartment. not all of you of course... but the memories old apartment, the memories....

p.s. so long sucker!!!

kisses,
lesley
