My place was a small studio apartment back then and sometimes I miss living there
When I first moved out of my parents house I couldn’t afford much as far as an apartment went. I knew that I needed to sacrifice size for certain amenities that I felt I couldn’t live without. I knew that I needed both heat and air conditioning to be comfortable. The only place that it turned out I could afford was located within a few blocks of the airport. This meant, that at all hours, there were planes coming and going. The noise, fumes, and rumble of them flying overhead was something I needed to adjust to. For the most part I just spent my time cooped up in my apartment when I wasn’t working because I needed to be able to breathe fresh air. That was definitely not the case if I sat outside. My HVAC system was my saving Grace. Not only did I have great temperature control, I had a filtration system to remove any fumes that may be in the air from the exhaust of the planes. I needed to keep the windows shut tight to try and muffle the sounds from the airport and the hum of the HVAC system running helped with that too. My place was a small studio apartment back then and sometimes I miss living there. Since then, got a better job, paid off some debt, and have been able to move into a much nicer place. I am still thankful for the HVAC system I had back then though, because without it, I never would have been able to survive living in that place for as long as I needed to.
