For years our boyfriend & I lived in Chicago… His labor had him in the neighborhood & the people I was with and I had a small apartment, and the cabin was walking distance to shopping, restaurants & bars, but i could honestly walk to the gym or grocery store if I wanted it.
I abruptly realized that I never did.
I never felt safe in the city. I also don’t honestly prefer going out & get togethering. The multiple of us stayed most afternoons. I would cook us elaborate meals & the people I was with and I would watch films on Netflix, then when our boyfriend got a task promotion that had him online based, the people I was with and I decided to move. What is the point of living in the neighborhood however not utilizing all the things it has? All of us moved 45 hours outside of the neighborhood to Elgin. It is a much better area for us. There are less hosp & bars, however less sketchy people. I honestly do guess safe to walk around. What is fantastic is that everything is affordable. The multiple of us were able to get a substantial cabin & a nice car… All of us also splurged to get a quality heating program in our house. I had the floors redone & heated flooring put down. I never would have been able to do this in our city. I didn’t even own that apartment. The multiple of us are so much happier in our home… On especially cold afternoons the people I was with and I run our heated flooring, sip some wine & watch films. The heating program warms the couch so it feels prefer heated seats. All of us guess so swanky & rich now.
