I am not rich! I have a landlord who isn't greedy and likes me being around so keeps the rent reasonable. They could get $500 more per month easily.
That said, I do like my neighborhood! My complaint is that I moved here long ago because it was the nicest part of the city one could afford to live. Now it's still nice, but it's unaffordable. 25-year-old me never would be able to afford these rents.

for a fugly beige 750-square-foot open concept ‘luxury’ shoebox with no bathtub just a shower in a busted suburban office park on the side of a freeway.
My neighbors act so rude and entitled to staff that I think they’re under the impression we live at the Ritz-Carlton. In summer they start crawling out of the cracks like cockroaches drinking and loudly cavorting in the shared courtyard outside of my window late at night even on weekdays.
But I’m moving in July to a 1,200 square foot 2 bedroom house with a bathtub and an office/sunroom in a walkable area for $1,400 a month 🥰

Living in New York means spending a pretty penny on rent, but that also means hopefully living in a neighborhood you enjoy or a home/room you can really make your own. I think it can be hard to feel like you’re not missing out on all of the goings on in your city, but really enjoying your home and just relaxing, watching some tv, reading, or going for a walk around your neighborhood (basically backyard) are all free and let you take advantage of the money you have to spend every month.

The London rental market is Total War and I need to keep these convenient 24 hour grocery stores and delicious 2am restaurants away from the gentrifiers. Please do not geolocate me Tyler.

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists.
The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.
People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.

I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
