    Default I'm sad because I'm moving out of my house.

    This hardly warrants its own thread, but sadness, when I'm under its influence, always accompanies an inflated sense of self-importance. And that feeling, of course, that no one else in the world has ever liked their house as much as I like mine. I've lived here for 2 years, but really I've only spent about 1 year here, with all the traveling I've done. It's funny, then, that this house I spent so much effort trying to not be in is so hard to leave. Gosh, I remember the day I moved in like it was yesterday!* I cannot believe how quickly time passes. Or how I've managed to put off mowing the lawn for 2 entire years.

    Um... discuss?**


    *I will remember this even more acutely tomorrow, when I move my bed from the position it has occupied for 24 months and find a billion condom wrappers, hairballs (mine and cat's) and any number of forgotten panties.

    **You don't really have to discuss. I can acknowledge my overblown sense of self-absorption.

    My love, what is so self-absorbed about posting about your feelings on an upcoming life alteration? What else is a support system for? I'm sorry you have to leave your house....I hope your not as bad at goodbye's to inanimate objects as I am.

    You should elaborate on this expansive love for your house.

    Give it a big air-hug. There is no shame in loving your own space.

    I understand. I love my house eventhough I've only been here a year and a half I'd be devastated if I had to leave. Big hugs hon

    It has been your space, Toth--I sure understand that. Space--a refuge--especially for a writer, is tough to give up. It is a part of your routine. Here's to hoping there is another place in your future, soon, where the magic happens with the words; I'm sure there will be. My thoughts are with you!

    i'm going through the same thing, except it's an apartment.
    when i moved in it was the only highrise in san jose. it has a beautiful view & the architecture is all art-deco from the 1920s.

    i told myself that this was the number one place i wanted to live in in san jose. & i did. then broke up with my ex, couldn't dance enough to keep up with rent...now i'm moving back with my parents.

    i'm really sorry...it sucks to have your own space that you put effort into decorating & making memories in & then have to let it go. it makes me cry looking at an unfinished wall i was working on painting...but life is temporary, life stages are temporary. maybe it will help you (& me!) accept change & this in turn will generate more possibilities.



    i dunno. i just feel like in my situation i had attained my goal for this town, & now there is nothing left for me here. i can't wait to graduate & move to the city.

    Aww I hear you on this one!! We just moved (me bf and kitty) into a different house. We came so far since living there, at first we just had some blankets and pillows on the floor with a tiny tiny fridge. It was a nice feeling knowing we worked for everything in that house and sucked when we had to sell a lot of it

    The feeling goes away quickly, so don't be too sad! Where r u moving to

    Did you really not mow your lawn for 2 years?! How long is it?!

    Is it so much that you love the house; or the memories associated with it? Because you get to take those with you!!

    Funny thing right now: I'm all packed and waiting to go, and I can't find the cat. I guess he doesn't want to move either.

    The backstory to this whole move isn't that dramatic or interesting. Mostly it's just that my lease is up, and none of us wanted to resign it, because we don't know what we want to do with our lives. Yet it's a nice house-- a beautiful house, really, nicer than the one I grew up in, and my parents are pretty well off (but in NYC, nothing's cheap, and the kind of place you can get in FL even on a student's budget is nicer than a middle-of-the-road apartment in NYC). Mostly I just felt so peaceful here, in this nice neighborhood, surrounded by grownups with whom we blended in, as we're well-behaved quiet children. I cooked lovely meals here. Put together a goodly number of jigsaw puzzles. Sexed on appetizing boys. Slept as though I was dead, but remembered my dreams vividly. Smoked my lungs black, laughed til dawn. Wrote and wrote. The good stuff.

    It's true that I get to take those memories with me. I'm grateful for that. And it's funny because I usually like to move, but it is hard this time. I've never before took much stock in stability, but I guess I'm growing up or something.

    The place I'm moving is totally okay, too. I have my own room, even my own bathroom. I'll pay a fraction of what I'm paying now because one of my current roommates and I are both moving in to a house formerly occupied by 1 person. Already reasonable rent split 3 ways is downright cheap. It's out in the rural parts of town, past the interstate, near cowfields and golf courses and a small farm with an attached produce stand, on 3 acres, very lush and Florida-charming. The new house is just not, you know, the house by the bay that helped put my heart back together. But once I'm done wallowing in small-time sorrow I imagine I'll find many things to love about my new place.

    Okay, I have to go find my quadruped and get a move on. He's not excited because there are dogs in the new house and he's not a huge fan of the pooches.

    Oh BTW, my lawn is not as long as you might think. Grass seems to stop growing after 6 months. Farley likes to pretend he's a lion as he crouches all secretively in his little front-yard savanna.
