I'm hopeful, cause I heard from my brother that the owner herself has a cat. Of course that doesn't immediately mean that the apartments she rents out have the same allowance but hopefully she'll understand my need for a kitty or two of my own haha

Maybe, in the end if it ends up a no we won't lose all chances of finding a place, there are plenty of apartments to look at c:

Yeah there is one other option that we liked aside from this one, and if both fall away there are still places we haven't taken a look yet. We wanted to start with places close to my work for convenience but if needs be we can move a bit further away, widen the search area so to speak c:

we'll get there :P

It's just time, I feel. I'm staying close because I'm still going to visit and have them visit (esp my grandpa as I have a 'rule'/routine of seeing him once a day) but the bff is close to getting a job and moving out is just the logical next step in our lives c:

I'd like to have my own space that's completely mine. I think pretty much everyone feels like that at a certain point.

I've also accumulated enough savings that I can handle my own finances and take up more responsibilities for myself, which is something I personally feel is a good adult step :P
