How was your day?

BACK! It's been a few insane days without a computer. Since Friday, I:

- Had an incredible last night out with friends in Madison
- Moved out from Madison for the last time
- Enjoyed a delectable last dinner in the Midwest with my family (albeit slight drama with them) at Meson Sabika, a phenomenal tapas restaurant in Naperville
- Went to downtown Naperville bars right after with friends from high school
- Moved to New York on Sunday, where I'm now living with relatives in Westchester for the month of June as I settle things
- Went into the city yesterday and cried tears of joy (internally, because I'm not crying in front of strangers on the subway)
- Had lunch with great friends I haven't seen in 9 months, then hung out in Brooklyn before picking up a wallet from Comme des Garcons in Manhattan
- FINALLY on my laptop again as my aunt was happy to provide an external monitor for me to connect it to before I get a new laptop next week

Needless to say, it's been quite an eventful time, and I couldn't be happier with everything at the moment. Words can't begin to describe how complete I feel now that I'm in EST, living in my favorite state in the country (you should've seen the grin on my face as I changed something as simple as my state of residence flag on my profile here to New York). My entire family was and mostly still is based in New England/Eastern Seaboard, and, combined with my personality, I really never felt a connection to the Midwest, the region of my birth and development, always knowing I'm an east coaster. As such, though apartments, jobs, and other logistics for life in NYC are not yet fully finalized, I do feel "complete" in finally being able to call this place home - and not a land of temporary indulgence.

I can't wait for all that's to come!

[MENTION=1697]FrozNlite[/MENTION]'s fashion senses are tingling right about now.

Haha YES. [MENTION=5228]Razmos[/MENTION], I meant to quote that post too and say I'm proud of you. I had a similar moment with my sense of style roughly 8 months after I came out a few years ago, and upon overhauling everything found my true calling in fashion and vastly improved my self confidence, among other improvements. Taking a look at your life and what you don't like about it, and resolving to do what it takes to change it to build yourself into the version of you you want to be, is the first step, and I'm glad you're diving right in. Best of luck with everything!

Also, like Rick implied, I'm always happy to help with any fashion and style questions, so don't hesitate to VM/PM!
