Today's writing prompt is best Place of 2009. A coffee shop? A pub? A retreat center? A cubicle? A nook?
My Best Place of 2009 was definitely my very own apartment. In November 2008 I finally moved out of my parents' house (hopefully for good, but let's not get ahead of ourselves). I then ran head first into the holiday season and didn't have a whole lot of time to really settle in until after New Years. 2009 was my first year of complete independence.
Let's be real folks, college is just a teaser of independence, a taste or a smidgen, if you will.
For the first time, I was supporting myself completely. Sure, the bills sucked, but the FREEDOM was so so SO worth it. I could have cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I want to. I go out when and where I want to. My mess was mine to clean up when I want to. If I want to shower at 2 am, that's my prerogative. No one gives me crap about the time I spend on the computer, the volume of my music, or the TV shows/movies I choose to watch.
Blissful freedom. Now THAT is my Best Place of 2009.
