1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Hey guys, and welcome back to another episode of Geodiaries.

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 1: I am podcasting from my Jersey City apartment. I am

3
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: officially moved in and I seriously could not be happier.

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: I had the most amazing organizers helping me function and form,

5
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: and they seriously turned this space and helps me turn

6
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: this space into a home. I am just so blown

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: away by their work. And it took them five days

8
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: to complete this. So I moved in on Tuesday and

9
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: they finished on Saturday, so it was definitely a lot.

10
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: But I have my dream kitchen, my dream glamor room,

11
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: my dream bedroom. Everything about this apartment is just so

12
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: my vibe. It's so cool, and I'm so excited to

13
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: show you guys an apartment tour and just really show

14
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: you all the details and work that they put into

15
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: organizing this place for me. I picked out all the furniture,

16
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: all of the little details, all of the little accessories

17
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: in this apartment, and it seriously just screams me. So

18
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,279
Speaker 1: I am so happy, and I think this was something

19
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: that I was so excited and also nervous about.

20
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: Was my apartment really feeling like my home?

21
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: And it seriously does more than I can describe.

22
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: But I have been sleeping so good.

23
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: I got myself a king bed, so my mattress is

24
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: so comfy. I mean it should be that comfy for

25
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: the price that I paid. I cannot believe mattresses are

26
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: so expensive. But I sleep like a baby. My bed

27
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: is everything and more. I got most of my bedding

28
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: on Amazon, so I will link that all for you

29
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: guys when I do an apartment tour. And I got

30
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: my sheets from TikTok shop and guys, they are next level,

31
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: like next level, but I'll go into the details of

32
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: everything on where my pillows are from, and blankets and

33
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: little accent pieces. There was just so much that went

34
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: into this, and I prepared for it so much that

35
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: I did not need to buy anything else after my

36
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: move in, which was so nice, and it was kind

37
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: of just all done at once. All the expenses and

38
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: everything that I put into this, it was just done

39
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 1: at once, and now I can just enjoy. I went

40
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: food shopping, the fridge is stocked, the snacks are stocked.

41
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: It's just everything that I love. So makes me really happy,

42
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: and I'm so happy that I'm so in love with it.

43
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: I thought that I was going to miss home a

44
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: little more, but I just feel so comfortable here. It's

45
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: so weird. And also, Roadway Moving helped me move everything

46
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: from my home in Montville to Jersey City, and they

47
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: were incredible. They just handled everything with such care, helped

48
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: me so much, and they move so fast. But everyone

49
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: was underestimating the organizers a little bit and they couldn't

50
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: believe how much stuff I had to move. But I know.

51
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: I was telling you guys how I was gonna bring

52
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: my clothes here seasonally, so for now I was only

53
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: going to have my fallen winter clothes and then bring

54
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: my and then switch out for spring and summer. The

55
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: organizers told me to bring everything because they think it's

56
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: all gonna.

57
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: Fit, and they were right.

58
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: Everything is here. They fit all of my belongings. I

59
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: have literally nothing left at home besides my Poshmark clothes

60
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: that I sell on my Poshmark because there was just

61
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: no space to hold those here, So now those bins

62
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: are in my old closet. But everything is here, so

63
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: I really don't have to go home for anything besides

64
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: grabbing my Poshmark shipments. But yeah, it's really nuts and

65
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: everything's here. Everything just feels so complete and I've been

66
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: having visitors come over and it's just so nice seeing

67
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: their reaction and just seeing how happy they are for

68
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: me being in this space, and it's really just been

69
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: so amazing. Christian absolutely loves it. He is so proud

70
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: of me, and he just sees how happy I am here.

71
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: So it's really good.

72
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: And I think this was a chapter that you needed

73
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: to happen, and I'm so happy it did because I.

74
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 2: Am so happy in my new space.

75
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: I haven't done much exploring yet around Jersey City because

76
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: the move was nuts and there was lots to do.

77
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: The organizers have been here all week, plus work events,

78
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: so it was mainly just getting my apartment situated and

79
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: done and then going to work, so I haven't had

80
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: much wiggle room yet to really explore. Yesterday, I walked

81
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: to a local coffee shop called Treehouse, and I got

82
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: this recommendation from Lauren Tybee. She actually lives in my building,

83
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: which is so nice because I have gotten to know

84
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: her over the past year just going to events and stuff,

85
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: and she actually told me to look at this building

86
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: and it's so funny. We're on the same floor and

87
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: I can't wait to have her over and just hang

88
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: out with her more and I love that I have

89
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: a familiar face.

90
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: In the building.

91
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: I was texting her and I was like, I am

92
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: so happy that you are on my floor because I

93
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: cannot wait to text you when I need help zippering

94
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: my dress. She's like, you know how people have like

95
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: I don't even know, like double jointed are and like

96
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: can like really reach back and zipper their dresses and stuff.

97
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: My arms do not move like that hers do, and

98
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: that was my number one fear moving in. I was like,

99
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: how am I going to get myself dressed? I need

100
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: to rework my wardrobe for outfits that I can zipper myself.

101
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: But I'm so happy that now I have her. And

102
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: obviously I have made friends at the front desk so

103
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: they can always help me.

104
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: But I am just so excited. The building is so beautiful.

105
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: Everybody here is just so amazing and so nice, and

106
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: I just love the security of it as well. You

107
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: need a keyfob to get in to literally anywhere, so

108
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: it just makes me feel really secure and safe. I

109
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: have cameras up like I am. Everything is in place,

110
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: so I can't wait to show you guys my apartment

111
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: and just show you why I love it.

112
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: So much.

113
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: I have used a couple forms of public transportation recently

114
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: and it is seriously life changing.

115
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: Guys.

116
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: My commute is so easy. I have a light rail

117
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: station right outside my apartment building. I hopped onto the

118
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: light rail the other day. One stop I was at

119
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: the ferry, and the ferry to get to the city

120
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: was maybe ten minutes. If that, I walked four minutes

121
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: and I was at my destination. It was just so

122
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: life changing. And I've taken the path literally takes me

123
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. It was seriously and it is seriously so

124
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: freaking amazing and is going to help my mental health

125
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: so much. I have ubered a couple times to events

126
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: because they gave me Uber vouchers and stuff like that.

127
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: But even the ride in is just so easy, and

128
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:13,239
Speaker 1: it just makes me so much like I'm less stressed.

129
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: I don't feel as drained, because that was the biggest

130
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: thing the commute for me. I would be driving an

131
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: hour and a half back and forth from Jersey, sitting

132
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: in the car driving. It was super exhausting. Sometimes the

133
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: drive was more exhausting than my actual work. So it

134
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: was just becoming a lot for me mentally, and I'm

135
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: just so happy that I have this accessibility, just to

136
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: access the city so easily and just have such an

137
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: easier commute. I'm glowing here. I'm loving it here. This

138
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: is like the best thing ever. And I love my apartment.

139
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: I never want to leave. I never want to leave.

140
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: Just keep renewing my lease please. But Bravocon is this week,

141
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: and I am so excited. But there's so much prep

142
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: that goes into it. I am overnighting dresses as we

143
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: speak and trying to figure out my outfits. So that's

144
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: definitely the most stressful part because you want to look

145
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: your best, and obviously all the nail appointments, facials, I'm

146
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: getting lymphatic drainage, massage because we have to look snatched.

147
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: There is lots of prep that goes into Bravocan. But

148
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. If you guys are gonna be there,

149
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to meet you.

150
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: And I am just so excited to be there.

Speaker 1: that a lot of you wanted me to talk about

159
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: is friendship breakups. I know I talked about in my

160
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: last episode that I do have a tattoo with two

161
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: people who I am no longer friends with, and.

162
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 2: I just feel like.

163
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: Getting a tattoo with somebody is just a recipe for

164
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: disaster because you just never know what the future holds.

165
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: And I know friendship breakups are really hard. Sometimes they

166
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: honestly feel worse than.

167
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: A breakup.

168
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: When you have your best friend and your person that

169
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: you go to for everything, at least I know with

170
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: these girls, I talked to them all day, every day.

171
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: I did everything with them. We were like a trio.

172
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: And sometimes, you know, life happens and people change and

173
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: people grow, and when that happened, sometimes people grow out

174
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: of your life. And I think that's kind of what

175
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: happened with these friendships.

176
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 2: And it just.

177
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: Is how life is and how life works. You kind

178
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: of just go through motions and find people that are

179
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: good for you and that are benefiting you and lifting

180
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: you up and bringing you happiness. And I think that's

181
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: kind of what came from what didn't come from these friendships.

182
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: They were great at a time, but then as I

183
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: was growing through life and as I was evolving, I

184
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: just felt like these friendships weren't benefiting me. If anything,

185
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: they were bringing me down and bringing things into my

186
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: life that I didn't want in my life. So as

187
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: much as it hurt, and as much as even now

188
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: I still miss talking to them, I knew that this

189
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: decision was the best.

190
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 2: Move for me, and.

191
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: It's honestly been okay. You know, I have my friends

192
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: that i'm still super still super super close with.

193
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 2: I think.

194
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: As you're letting go of the friendship, that is the

195
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: hardest part. But if somebody brings me to my wits end,

196
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm done. So when I'm done, i'm done and I

197
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: don't really look back.

198
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 2: But I think.

199
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: The hardest part is letting go because I forgive, I

200
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: never I'm really not one to hold grudges. I forgive,

201
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: but I don't forget, And I think that's the difference.

202
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: You know, when you are growing and you're really becoming

203
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: the person that you are.

204
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: It's easier to forgive.

205
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: Than to hold resentment, and I think that has been

206
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: something that has grown within myself over the past couple years.

207
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 1: I am all in for forgiveness, but that doesn't mean

208
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: we're going to be best friends again. So that's kind

209
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: of my advice on friendship breakups.

210
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: You grow and evolve.

211
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: And sometimes you grow out of relationships just like you

212
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: grow out of friendships.

213
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: There people are.

214
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: In your life for a reason, a time, and a place,

215
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: but sometimes that era ends and you need to move on.

216
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: And as much as it probably feels super difficult in

217
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: the moment, you'll be okay, and you'll have your people

218
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: that are still around you and still support you and

219
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: still lift you up and bring you happiness. And then

220
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: as you keep going through life, you know, you forgive

221
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: and you move on and you do things that are

222
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: just always going to benefit you. And I think that's sometimes.

223
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: What you need to realize too.

224
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: You need to do what benefits yourself and it might

225
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: be selfish at points, but you do have to do

226
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: what really makes you happy at the end of the day.

227
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: All right, guys, And that is it for this week
