Oooof, my apartment has taught me so much. I moved here in May 2020 completely on foot—as in, I walked everything here from my last apartment in a little 4-day parade with the help of a dolly and some suitcases. This is my first time living alone, after sharing an apartment with a boyfriend for a year, so I would say the biggest lesson has been independence. Enjoying, and preferring my own company, and occasionally that of my cat, Judy. And we must have a good thing going because yesterday, for the first time, I renewed a lease! That will be what I celebrate with my friends once I’m able to get the vax.

This was such a wholesome comment to read. Happy you've got yourself (and judy) all settled. Honestly, finding a place you want to stay for more than one lease cycle in Manhattan means it's diamond in the rough – not sure if it's the same in Philly. Either way, hold onto it ;)
