Pretty much my entire life, I’ve shared a bedroo With three brothers and my parents cramped in a two-bedroom apartment, there isn’t a lot of space for privacy Or modesty, corab my stuff and head either to the bathroom or to the nearest closet, even if there were brooms and mops inside That’s how packed ere

But a girl can dreao when I got to have my own bedroom I think one of my brothers was in the hospital, another was at suardless, it was a few months of peace, quiet, and privacy whenever the bedroom door was shut Sheer heaven, if you askthat I was really young myself at the time

But now, I finally get to experience it all over again I’ve h to re There’s stuff strewn around my entire one-bedroom apartment, but I don’t care This is mine, all mine! Mo ht to sleep It’s a disaster with luggage and boxes scattered about, but I don’t care The apart

I smile I don’t own a ton It’s arbage bags There’s a small mattress for me in the bedroom, a tiny dresser I found on the side of the road, and a hand-ave me to christen the new apartment

I’ll need to buy a few things: a couch, for one, so that I can actually sit down in the living room Plus, a TV I don’t knohat I’ll do if I can’t watch my favorite shows, and thankfully, cable is free here

It’s one of the perks of this apart I et to indulge in uilty pleasure, reality TV, whenever I want I love all the shows, including Below Deck, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and oodness for Bravo

Suddenly, my phone buzzes on the stove

“Hey, Caitlin!” I sing “Oooh, guess where I am now?”

My friend giggles

“Hey, girlfriend! I think I can guess, judging from your excited tone I’m so sorry I couldn’t help you move in”

I roll irl, Peony I didn’t expect her to drop everything to help s and parents could easily pitch in
