Dear Diary,

I finally got a new bed! It comes in next week. I ordered the mattress and bed frame off of Amazon with Prime. So glad I invested in it. I also went to TjMaxx yesterday and got bed sheets, a comforter set and four pillows. I freaking love TjMaxx!!

My theme color for the bed is light green and a mauve purple. The bed frame is beige. I'm thinking of putting fairy lights over the top of the frame and getting a tapestry to hang right above it. Pinterest is my friend right now.

I still live with my parents unfortunately. I think that's what is normal for this generation, especially with inflation. I also imagined myself at twenty six in my apartment, lounging on the couch while watching TV and eating Chinese food out of a carton. Screw you 2000's rom coms for making me believe my 20's would be like that. Still love them though.

I'm torn between getting an apartment somewhere or getting a new car. The car would probably be used...We will see how that goes. I've always wanted to move to California since I was a kid. I even tried to go at eighteen, but I had other things I wanted to do at that time. I tried again when I met my best friend who lives in Cali, but that didn't work out either. I keep thinking that maybe I'm not meant to move there? Or maybe I wasn't meant to move at those times. 

I know I want to live somewhere sunny and warm year round, dry heat, being able to swim in the ocean or pool and learn to surf but I also love fall weather. Wearing a sweater and sweat pants, cuddled up under the blankets at home and lighting candles that smell like vanilla and cinnamon. I don't really like city life, but I don't want to be too rural where I can't get access to anything. I do love small town vibes, I can walk to stores and visit cute shops and get a matcha whenever I wanted. 

If you guys know where I can find something like that please let me know. I could really use the help.
