You know how they say your brain doesn’t finish developing until you’re like 25? Well, I fully agree with that assessment because when I was 23-years-old, I did something that was extremely stupid.
At 23-years-old, I had just moved to a new city and my only friend was my girlfriend at the time, Mía. We moved in together after college, which was pretty silly considering we had only been dating for nine months at the time. But we were both wanting to move to the same city and chase similar careers, so it made sense. Plus, rent was crazy expensive, and Mía had an aunt (Claudia) who lived in the area and graciously let us stay rent-free in her spare bedroom.
“You two are doing me a favor, I’m so lonely. I get so bored,” Claudia laughed when we arrived, “I keep talking to my cats, but they don’t ever talk back,” she added. Claudia had a noticeable accent. She spent the first half of her life in Mexico. Mía was actually born there as well, but her and her family moved to the states when she was still a baby.
