and I can’t decide if I should get rid of it or not. I mean, I just got it. So I’m debating whether or not to keep it, because I’m moving apartments right now, and I know I’ll inevitably have to move again. I’m pretty sad about it, because it keeps happening. And normally I don’t care because I never really liked the places I stayed at before anyway. But now I have this ottoman, and it’s made the place feel pretty nice. I can move it around wherever I want, I usually like it by the window, and it’s so soft that I sink into it. 

I like to sit and drink my coffee and read all the papers I buy from the grocery store across the street and the used books I blissfully borrow from the bookstore I work at. With my little red pillow, I sometimes curl my body up and take a nap on my ottoman. Like a kitty in the sun. 

I don’t want to get rid of my ottoman now that I’m moving, but it’ll be better to not have to lug as much stuff over. Although, I found this ottoman on Facebook Marketplace, I have no clue where it’s actually from, so there’s no way I could just buy it again. I mean, eventually I might find another. But I remember when I was a kid, my parents used to have these plush green couches, and then they replaced it with these brown leather ones. The leather ones are fine, they have outlets in their sides which is cool, but I’ll never have another couch like those green ones we used to have. 

You know, I think this green floral ottoman was the first real piece of furniture I had ever bought myself. Most of everything I used in the past was owned by someone else. Now I have my own ottoman, my own mugs. I don’t know if I want to risk breaking the mugs in the move, or if I could handle the ottoman getting super worn out from all the moving. I was thinking it could be better to just let it go and get a new one, and maybe next time not invest in something I care about as much. That way I don’t get sad if it gets ruined. 

Or maybe I’ll take the ottoman.
