Roommate of nearly two years: Um, are you planning on staying in this apartment after the lease is up?
Me (dropping soccer stuff on floor with giant crash after losing 8th-and last, thankfully-straight game): No.
R: Where do you think you'll move to?
Me: Actually, I've been thinking about it. Logan Square, maybe Pilsen. Or even Ravenswood to be close to the lake. Or I guess if I get a job somewhere else then...somewhere else.
R: Do you want to live alone?
Me: Uh, yeah.
R: (no hesitation whatsoever) Me too.
Me: I know, doesn't it sound great? No offense or anything.
R: Oh, none taken. I'm thrilled too!
Sometimes, it's just time to move on. Early this fall, the cat and I will venture out on our own.
