As of today, I am moving in five weeks out of California and into New York City. Specifically, Brooklyn. More specifically, Bushwick, Greenpoint, or Park Slope…which I think negates the “more specifically” part of this sentence. I’ve found a pretty wonderful lead for an apartment in Park Slope, but who knows as of yet. It’s not even May yet (though for me, 37 days is not even enough time to plan a road trip…let alone a move across the country).
Also as of today, I am scared shitless.
Recently, I was putting away clothes from the laundry and then stopped at a shirt I almost never wear. I decided I should just put it in a “discard” pile of things I’ll either sell or give away before I leave. And then it hit me: I have to get rid of almost everything, which means I’ll have nothing left here, which means I’m actually leaving permanently (or, at least for a few years).
So today, I ended up starting the process of thinning my closet out. For anybody who’s seen my closet, you know that it’s rather enormous and incredibly packed (as well as color-coded!). I’ve accumulated an absurd amount of stuff in California because I:
(1)tend to just do that in general
(2)thought I’d be living here or in the Bay Area for the next decade or so.
I had zero plans of moving to NY until I was at least 30. ”Too crowded” or “too smoggy” (lolLA) or “too expensive,” I’d say. And lo and behold…I’ll be there in a little over a month. Fuckmuffins. I have nothing else to do besides pack up/sell/give away my shit and go. Ya voy.
