I debated about whether or not to post anything about this, but I think part of having a blog is sharing a little bit of yourself to people.
This past week has been awful. I know it sounds a bit dramatic but it might have been one of the worst weeks of my life.
We found out earlier this week that a crime had been committed in our apartment while we were out of town. I can’t really go into details but there is an active police investigation. I feel sick even thinking about it: violated, angry, sad… I honestly can’t even wrap my head around everything. I don’t want to live here anymore, but we just signed a new lease.
This happened right when I have a lot of other things I’m dealing with, so I think that has made everything seem 10x worse. I keep trying to tell myself that things happen in life that are outside of your control, and you just have to find a way to move on. So I’m really going to try to do that. The whole situation just sucks.
That is why I’ve mostly done link-up posts this past week, which were written prior to this happening, and skipped Thursday’s post. I don’t think I could have formed a coherent sentence on Wednesday night to be able to write anything. I’m working today and I’m on call tomorrow, but I’m going to try to set aside some time to relax and get some rest.
Sorry for the debbie downer post, but that is what is going on in my life right now. I will try to have a good weekend, and I hope you do the same!
Hi Sam,
I am so sorry to hear about what happened in your apartment! I have been broken into once and it really shook me. I can completely understand not wanting to stay living in your apartment. When it happened to me, I was living in a new town by myself. I was able to talk to the management of the complex I lived in and they let me move to another apartment within the complex with no charge. It helped me have a fresh start and not be scared. I hope everything gets better for you soon!
I also wanted to add that I have been reading your blog for a few weeks and I have been really enjoying it!
Hi Amanda! Thanks for reading :) I wish our apartment had just gotten broken into but it’s actually a lot worse. I don’t mean to vague-post about it but I just feel like it’s not appropriate to explain the whole situation. Thankfully, our apartment complex has been really great. They came by and replaced all of the locks at no cost.
I’m sorry that you’re apartment got broken into! That’s awful, especially living in a new town. I’m glad your complex let you move into a different apartment for free.
