she was starting grad school, I said can I come with? still here 6+1/2 years later.
doing a big move with someone I trust made the process less daunting, and we knew there was no commitment to live together for forever
When I'm done with my stint in grad school, I'll probably do something similar: find someone moving to join in with, or wait till a friend in a city is looking for a new lease/roommate and suggest I move in with them
Wishing you safe transit to a happier place <3
