I unfortunately had to move back with my family after my most recent breakup. He and I were living in Boston together in an apartment we got.

Just a little word of advice. Never sign a lease with someone who you recently got into a relationship with.

He was not the person I thought he was.

My parents live in western Massachusetts.

If you've ever been to Massachusetts, you'd know the more west you get, typically the more rural it gets.

I'm not a big country girl.

I like to be in or near a major city, especially

since I'm in my 20s still. My parents' area is super boring. I'm hoping I'm only here temporarily

until I find another apartment I can afford myself, though I'll be staying away from Boston for

reasons. I had to get a job back at the urgent care facility I used to work at before I moved.

They welcomed me back excitedly, even if it is just temporarily until I move again.

The trade-off with this job, though, is that I tend to work undesirable hours, meaning

overnights.

Though the shifts are easy, they're boring, and they entirely mess up my sleep schedule

and social life. Not that social life is even the best around here. After my shifts, sometimes

I'll stop for what's considered my dinner, usually takeout since not much is open at these hours.

Though this morning, I got out at 4 a.m., and there's a bagel place that opens at that time,

and they serve a lot of types of food. So I stopped by there and grabbed a chicken sandwich and a salad.

I was going to eat it once I got home. I also had to make a pit stop for gas as well.

I stopped at the local Shell Station, one of the few gas stations open at this hour that

was on the way home.

The parking lot for this station is huge, and yet I hardly ever see any other cars in there,
