Cherished distraction
Luckily, my friend didn’t notice my moment of longing, as she was too focused on chatting about how the pasta was turning out. After dinner, we settled on the couch, watching TV. Those few hours of distraction and lighthearted conversation were a welcome break from my reality. We laughed at silly shows and gossiped about actors, allowing me to momentarily forget my worries and just enjoy the company.

Not overstaying welcome
Even with all the comfort and fun, I couldn’t shake the guilt of imposing on my friend for too long. The thought of staying any longer made me uneasy. The next day, I knew it was time to start looking for more permanent housing options. I couldn’t ask her to carry my burden forever. She deserved to have her space back soon, and I needed to start standing on my own feet again.
