Well, aside from my one day embarrassment, i'm now moving close to 5 months full time. While I can't go home for the summer break, I plan to sub lease from one of my friends while she is off doing an internship. Then this fall she, her partner, my friend and I shall all be moving into a two bedroom apartment. I hope this works out as these will be close living quarters. *shrugs* Well they all know about me and don't care so I think it should be fine. That leaves making sure we give each other space when we need it.
I just find it still so hard to believe that this is even my concern. Had you asked me even in December of last year if I thought any of this to have been possible I would have honestly laughed. Not even in my wildest dreams did I dare hope this would go so well. I have more friends and am happier then any other time in my life. It hasn't been totally smooth, but what ever is?
If you think that you can't, then you can't. I think everyone who thinks that they never can get to a point of happiness in their transition should take a deep breath and try to relax. If you quite before you try, then you don't deserve to dream. Its kinda scary how close I came several time to giving up on those dreams.
