It made me go back to my homes and think I will journal this as to not forget my growth in life.

Wow-It sure takes time to find your spot and groove. Thanks for a post the encourages me to keep honestly reflecting.

Loved seeing how much your design and furniture choices changed as you changed. And I am not surprised that the Colfax apartment helped the healing process, it is a beautiful little place.

Thank you for taking the time to comment! I’m so glad this article struck a chord. Here’s to this first apartment, and to your next.

It makes me stop to appreciate my days broke and working in design knowing I won’t be broke forever I stop to appreciate my pretty room with no AC that I over pay for in the town I love, the town I grew up in, I appreciate my boss (whom I adore) , the nights out with people older but not always wiser, the first hit of pot, the mess of my life and my friends, love come and gone, money spent and saved, the hand me down Lexus that I can barely afford to insure, and just seeing the beauty of it all culminate before I move onto the second apartment, an overpriced studio, but a place of my own, I will never not think of your love letter. Thank you.

Your favorite post? What a compliment—thank you, Stephanie! I’m glad this piece brought you back to your previous homes. It’s comforting to reflect on those good memories sometimes.

Thank you, Tiffany! I’m so glad you found bits of nostalgia while reading through the piece—that’s so good to hear. And yes, Collin—such a small world! I love how he captured that apartment.

Thank you, Kristian! I’m glad the post brought you back to some of your homes, too. It can be really impactful to reflect back on those things.

Thank you for your comment, Emily! It means the world that my words meant something to you. You are not alone in the slightest.

Thank you so much for your vulnerability. I am in one of the ‘phases’ you describe, and it’s so comforting to wrap your words around myself and know that I’m not alone in this season of life.

Really, truly “at home”? – is absolutely perfect.

I too can list a handful of Minneapolis apartments that I ‘grew up’ in- and this makes me so nostalgic for them. I was also friends with Collin Hughes in middle / high school and seeing his name made me even more nostalgic!

I haven’t thought about my previous homes in a long time but reading this made me remember the good times I had at those places. Especially the party home, that was fun lol,
