Landlord letting me end my lease 3 months early with no penalty, so I get my deposit back. So that's like 1500 extra I'll have to pay off a bunch of bills. Going to move home for the summer and pay off all my stuff. At first I was kind of dreading it, but I realized my mom has a huge house, has all new shit like stove, sink, huge washer and dryer, redid the floors, I painted part of the house. Nobody is ever home and it's just her and my sister in this huge 2 story 4 bedroom. Closer to the city, and I'm no longer gonna live in the middle of the desert so I can do more shit, have more money, while also paying my shit off. My girlfriend is pretty stoked because it means we can finally get a place of our own and get engaged. Gonna live closer to my family who I have been distant from for a very long time now, get to skate way more, and better spots, have a workspace to build a box. I don't have to pay insane amounts for a tiny washer and dryer like we have at my apartments. No more answering the door with a gun in my hand in case some crackhead is there, no more music blasting from the neighbor, can finally BBQ again, cook smelly food because there's an actual goddamn vent in the kitchen. Probably what got me so hyped to skate an hour straight today for the first time in a long time.
Should have done it a while ago. It's fun to live on your own, but my apartment complex went to shit when this whore moved in next door and started selling ass and drugs. Plus the rent I'm paying now is pretty dumb for a studio that is smaller than my break room at work. I'm sitting on one end of the place and could easily throw a waded up paper to the far end of the place seated at my desk.
Any kind of decent stores here are a 25 minute drive aay, where my mom lives there's a park, tons of places to eat, and shop, movies, all within a mile. You can walk at night without carrying a knife or a gun. Nice neighborhood, but I moved out nearly a decade ago so it's obviously a little weird. But it's cool to see how excited her and my sister are.
I will say I did get a little emotional when I realized I was really gonna do it. I grew up in this ghetto ass town and was glad to move away the first time at 19. Then I moved like 3 times, all over far away from here and moved back a couple years ago due to work and circumstances. Coming back it's kind of cool to be where you grew up, I have a different appreciation for the memories and being a dirty street kid. My name is in the sidewalk by the skatepark from when I was in high school. But this place is shitty, and it's seclusion makes it a bitch to go anywhere new. I'll still work out here so it's not gone forever, but I still have some love for this place.
