Eat Me

So the new job starts next week, and soon after that, I'll be getting my own apartment. I've never lived by myself before, and all that ever comes to mind when I think about doing so is the scene from 'Big' where Josh checks into the ratty hotel in NYC. There are gunshots outside on the street, scary people out in the hallway yelling at each other, the place is a dump, he doesn't have anyone or anything there in the room with him to make him feel comfortable or at home, and all he can do is lock the door, sit on the edge of the bed, and cry his goddamned eyes out because of how lonely and alienated he suddenly feels. I'm sure that my place will be nothing like that, but I just can't get that scene out of my head whenever I start thinking about it. Please don't be scary, new apartment. Please don't eat me.
