Journal 14

Hello! It rained a lot tonight. I’m sure the autumn-loving, Gilmore Girls-watching, book-reading girls in my area are cackling, “Yes!!! It’s an autumn rain I tell you, an autumn rain!!! I can feel it!!!”

An exciting-ish thing happened this week regarding the housing situation. I found a place that was barely-affordable and decent. It might not work out with this listing, but it felt like a good first step to find a place that looks good and make contact.

Writing about the housing is tough, because I am not sure how to make the lava inside me palatable to an audience. Family, the system, older generations. So many tough things. Did I mention family? But I am not the only one going through this, right now, in this way, at this age. Yesterday, I stumbled upon Because This Is My First Life, a Korean drama about a female 30 year old writer.

The housing is something so many other people are going through, but hearing it from someone else, even in a fictional show, was very emotional. I understand the show was probably tailored extremely specifically to my demographic. Maybe even down to my exact age! It was very effective. I am still shocked about how accurately it portrayed many things.

Currently I am only on episode five, so I cannot give it my full seal of approval until I finish. But up to the point I have watched, I think this show is very beneficial for girls and young women.

Please have a wonderful week. Thank you so much for reading. Let us all now, or in the near future, enjoy a rainy night like this in the comfort of our own sanctuary.
