Well, just as I’d hoped and suspected, I loved the apartment.

The day of the walk-through, I’d decided I wanted to snatch it up before anyone else did. I paid first and last months’ rent, I signed the lease, and I made plans to move in the next day.

And when I say I made plans, I mean it. I left the leasing office and went to the post office to buy myself a ton of large boxes. I called a moving company, and they made plans to come over the next afternoon. Then, I started packing literally everything I owned.

I know it sounds drastic, but I just needed an instant change. I wasn’t going to move on until I’d had one.

And it’s not as if it’d be too hard to actually move. I lived in a small one-bedroom apartment. I didn’t have many things, and, most of what I had already was in some kind of box. I liked to keep organized, so all my knick knacks had their place. I kept a lot of my belongings in storage boxes under my bed.

So, I really just needed to pack up my kitchen and the things I used regularly that weren’t tucked away in storage. It was something I could easily do in a day, and I was excited to do it.

I turned up my speakers and got a dance playlist going and just went to town on organizing everything. I was really enjoying myself.

I actually finished packing a lot earlier than I’d thought I would. Which was unfortunate, because, of course, once I had finished, I was back to feeling empty and missing Gracy.

I decided to continue with cleansing my life even after I finished packing.

I went online and purged myself of all social media. I deleted every single account I had that Gracy knew about. I didn’t want her to see anything about my life, and I wanted to see nothing about hers.

Which was going to be easier said than done. Because she was everywhere. Anything basketball-related would bring her up in my mind.

Which was frustrating, because I’d actually really come to like basketball. I’d never been a big sports person, but basketball was super fun to watch. Even when Gracy didn’t have a game, I found myself watching it.

Oh well, it’ll just be a hobby I’ll have to avoid for a while. It’s something I can do in the future, once the pain of the breakup doesn’t sting so badly.

I’m sure it’ll sting for a while, though. But that’s why I have to purge. The longer I can avoid her, the better I will feel.

And, you know what? I’m going to change my phone number, too. Yeah, I’m not going to leave her with any way to contact me. She’s already proven that I can’t trust her to leave me alone. Better to make sure I’m impossible to reach.

I was still sad, but in a small way, I felt good about all this. Like I was taking control of my life again.
