After a year dealing with an abusive job and an abusive housing situation? I'm done with Seattle.

Come September 15th, when my lease is up, I'm moving to Oregon.

This is what I've had planned for almost a year now. Portland was my destination at first. However? Given it's still a big city and becoming no different from Seattle, I've decided to take myself further south to Eugene.

For my mental health and wellbeing, I feel a low key and slower paced environment will help me better process what has happened to me over the last five years...

I'm already becoming acquainted with the local furs. Most of which are CFT regulars and staff. I feel like I'll fit right in as an addition to a wonky hippie town.

I'd like to find time to visit everyone again, at least one more time before I leave... As much as Seattle has put me through a meat grinder, I can't forget the friends I made along the way who have been there and helped me through thick and thin.

You all have my gratitude.
