Chapter 7 - Speak Now
She liked how the books were clues. Each one a piece in a puzzle.

Time for adult things, like measuring for a bed frame!
I packed and moved all of my things on my own. Here's me praying I can move this giant heavy desk I found on Facebook inside by myself. I somehow got it off the truck without dying, and then as I slowly inched down the sidewalk, a stranger took pity on me and helped me carry it inside!
I got majority of my apartment things from garage and rummage sales. Found this amazing table on the side of the road for free! But will it fit in the car??
It will! With less than an inch of space to the rear window 😳
I found this random cute box at a garage sale that said "New Life Construction." The woman said her husband had carved the phrase because that was the name of their construction company. But for me, it seemed like a beautiful marker of this new chapter in my life of self-discovery 💫
I was also beginning to share my whole life transition on Instagram! Taking the time to move more stuff out of my old room ...
And trying to not get overwhelmed by all the mess created in the new apartment 😅 I had a LOT of stuff.
Things are looking cleaner now! Here's my blue papasan chair aka the comfiest place to read.
Most of my childhood books were back in storage on the East Coast, but after living in San Diego for a year the West Coast collection was rapidly growing 🤭
The book page that led me to say Mom's name out loud :)
