I love the house pictures. I love houses with character and charm.

Unfortunately it wasn't the sort of home I speak of in this piece and maybe that's why I crave a peaceful home..

I misunderstood. I once lived in 300 SQ feet in NYC and I made it my haven. I loved it.

Its the house i grew up in. Was going to be demolished so my parents bought it and moved it onto a lot in a small town. Being that it was going to be torn down it was only about 120 grand all in with the lot

I never heard of something like that. Are you attached to this house? Emotionally?

They still have it but it would be sad if they sold it. As much as I didn't love my childhood I am attached to the house in a lot of ways for sure..

I understand. I had such a hard time dissolving my parents estate, going thru each item they kept for 50 years. By the time I was done, it took 6 months, the place looked like a dollhouse and I didn’t want to sell, it was emotional. I went to therapy one week, Reiki healing the next week, therapy, Reiki, therapy, Reiki. I’m always here to listen. Love what you are doing, you are super creative!

This is such a beautiful message. I completely agree with you. A home filled with love and safety is the ultimate dream. Everything else is just a bonus. hope your dreams all comes true . Ameen ♥️

You’ve cut right through the "big house" fantasy to the core of what actually breaks or saves a person. It’s a powerful realization that a dream home isn’t a location or an architectural style, but simply the absence of fear. When home becomes a place of relief rather than a place to hide, the size of the plot of land truly ceases to matter. Loved this ✨
