Hello friend,

You know how they say moving is one of life’s most stressful events? I always thought that sounded dramatic. I mean, it’s just boxes, right?

Wrong. So wrong!

I moved into my new place in December, and last week I finally emptied out my storage unit. Which meant unpacking boxes I hadn’t seen since Portland. Since the breakup. Since I packed up one version of my life and had absolutely no idea what was coming next.

A year ago, I was still in that relationship. Still in Portland. Still unaware of the utter chaos the rest of 2025 would bring.

But after a genuinely hectic couple of years, I’m ready to find stability and put down roots. So even though unpacking has been an emotional minefield (why do I keep old cards and notes?), I’m genuinely happy to be doing it.

A very unglamo

My new place is beautiful. It needs work, but the bones are there. Even though I love it, it doesn’t feel like home yet. I left most of my furniture in Portland, so I’ve been improvising. A lot. And right now it just feels... a wee bit unsettlingly empty in here.

But I'm working on it! The first floor is finally starting to come together, and by coming together I mean it's no longer completely covered in boxes. So I made a little video to take you on a tour of it.

Come have a look into my new house!
