oh HELLO

I think I’m finding a rhythm. Rhythm. That word has no right being spelled that way. Anyway, the rhythm is chaos! Let it reign. I jest, but only slightly.

In between the last time I sat down to write a post on here and now I’ve interviewed for a job, got offered that job, accepted the job, sought and found housing in the city where the job is (which is 200ish miles away from where I last wrote a post), packed up my shit in a U-haul (I’m accepting sponsorships), moved from Western Pennsylvania back to South Central Pennsylvania (during a record high heatwave) AAAAAAND then I started that job.  Also I was blessed with 2 menstrual cycles all within that window of time.

Chaos.

But babes, I think I’m thriving. This move was by far the easiest I’ve had to do in such a long time, even with the heat of a thousand suns beating down on us. There were no major hiccups and I’m grateful for that. I had the best help I could have asked for, and everyone seems genuinely happy to see me back in the area.

And while I didn’t fully expect this move to happen this way, I had been looking to move for a little while. Honestly, since this past winter. With Murphy’s passing in December of last year, so much of me has come unbound, it ways that kinda scared me at first. But now I see that I’m just setting boundaries and trying to make Sweet Angel Baby proud. I know she wants me to be happy. And I wasn’t happy where I was at.

Couple that with finding out that coworkers were conspiring and harassing me behind my back, to the point where another coworker felt the need to send a warning message saying I should be careful about who I talk to at work.

Well, my dears, I have no time for that bullshit. I spent most of the winter trying to dig myself out of a deep depression, and I have too much life to live to get weighed down by small minded thinking and small town pettiness. They can have their Trump supporting husbands (who stalked my social media, good luck with that!) and they can keep on plotting their escape from the place they bad mouth when they think no one is listening.

I’m gone! I’m in a Warmhouse. I’m back in Harrisburg and it’s only been a short time back and I already feel more human than I have in the last six months. And that’s including the aggressive sun shining and 50lb boxes I’m hefting around more frequently than anticipated.

I’m at a coffee company I’ve been a fan of for over a decade. I’m learning new things (production, roasting, beans) with people who have always made me feel welcome and seen. The universe has conspired in my favor, it always does when I am least expecting it.

oh PHOTOGRAPHY

oh GOODBYE

If you’ve made it this far. Wow! Thanks! I appreciate you. I want to say that I’ll be back soon, but *gestures vaguely about* the chaos. xo
