One year since leaving Chandler

March 12, 2024, Tuesday morning, 7:49am, pacific standard time, hotel room in Victorville,California,USA. It was a year ago today I completely moved out of my apartment in Chandler, Arizona. Hard to believe it has been that long. I look at pictures from that day and see how sad I was. As much as I appreciated coming back to Dana Point the physical difference between the Chandler apartment and the Dana point space is striking. The Chandler apartment was inviting and cozy. A safe place to shut the door and tune out the world. It was my fortress of solitude. A place to recharge. The Dana Point apartment is cold and uninviting. It does not feel welcoming nor empowering. I appreciate having a place in the area I call home. The price is right and the location is excellent. But the apartment itself sucks and I miss the Chandler one more every day.
