I will be moving into my own apartment soon. Seems like yesterday I was gathering all my stuff together in preparation for what to me marked the beginning of my adult life: having my own place. That was nine years ago, and in all that time I have lived by myself for 3 days and 3 months. This will be my third attempt to manage living solo, and I hope my efforts are finally rewarded.
I had a bit of a freak out yesterday. Sometimes I have trouble distinguishing between past and present. I took a deep breath, cried a bit, got real honest with the guy I am dating, and found an app to help keep me safe.
The app is called circle of six and can be found at www.circleof6app.com. The app is easy to use and helps to keep young women safe when out on dates, trying to get home, and navigating relationships. It even has links to hotlines in case the worse happens. I don't think I will have to use it, but being safe is a priority when it comes to living on my own.
I think anyone who is dating should have this app personally. As my boss says, "There are just way too many freak shows out there." I feel better knowing I have people backing me up, that I am not alone in life. Hopefully, this will be a great new adventure. Adding a lifeline, well that's just how smart girls do single.
