Just a Girl and Her Beds

Turning 34 was so hard and I didn’t see it coming. When I first entered the work force and was living on my own, life was hard. I turned 34 and *shocker* life is still hard. I’ve had to be very intentional about noticing the ways in which my life looks the way that I once dreamed about. The first thing I’m going to acknowledge is my bed!
​
One thing I always knew about myself is that I like to sleep. Comfortably. My sign of truly making it in life is having the perfect bed. Maybe I always knew I wasn’t an outside person lol

​When I moved into my first apartment in 2015, I had my best friend's childhood twin bed. It was made of thick hardwood back when things were made of quality material. It was so sturdy! I loved that bed, but I knew I needed more space. I tried to find a picture, but I don’t have one 🙁

After that twin bed, I upgraded and it felt massive in comparison. I had room to leave stuff in my bed and I was so excited about that. Post college, I struggled to get back into reading and being able to leave books in the bed helped with that. Quick access.  PS, look how tiny that tv is!!! This was like 2016 lol

​When I moved into my current place, I finally accepted that my favorite color is pink and designed my cute little pink bedroom. It still isn’t done yet, but it’ll do for now. Anyway, I loved my bed and my room, and my apartment as a whole. In July of 2024, I made a new friend. I went to his house and got in his bed…Then I went home, got in my bed, and was like oh…I need a new bed. So I went to Mattress Firm and bought the bed of my dreams. I decided not to get a headboard…When I move into a more final home, a headboard is the way I plan to elevate my bed. 

It is a king sized bed that does cool things and it fits me, my stuffed animals, my bed tray, my kindle holder, a thousand pillows, and occasionally, that man although I never leave him any space 🤭

One day, I will go into detail about why turning 34 was so devastating (dramatic much?), but for the time being, I'm going to continue to focus on the things that worked out for me. This bed is definitely a win!
