Other people make a space beautiful. I kinda feel dumb writing about this. However I have a lot
on my chest. I made the decision to start a new life. I have convinced myself that
in order to move forward, I must let go of the past. I am giving up my home. Not
house but HOME. A place that I built with my love and my dreams. My comfort
zone is going to be gone. I’m giving up my childish ways. My stuffed animal
friends, my doll baby (I say it backwards because although she is a doll she is
MY BABY.) I will no longer be able to put things the way I want them or how I
want them. I am letting go of my space. My individuality, creativity, my
freedom will be boxed up or thrown out or sold. No longer will I be able to
enjoy the company of pets that I am used to. With each word I type I begin to
question the choice I am making. Only because I am giving up soooo much on a
hope, not a guarantee. Not a promise, not even a wish, or an expectation. Sacrificing
my EVERYTHING for what if. I have not the slightest idea what I am investing
in. There’s no space there for me where I am going either. Will I be able to be
all Martha Stewart around holidays? Or Paula Dean in the kitchen? I like mix
& match furniture, walls with colors, themes, pillows, mirrors, plants, animals,
& … Too much to contemplate.

Technically the place is in his name but it's been "our" home for 3 years now (well 1 if u go by the time I updated my license). Somehow I went from a live in lover to a maid. I cook 99% of all cooedk meals we &/our guest eat. I CLEAN the house. (He vacuums the hell out of it tho & every now and again he puts a shine on the porcelain in our (aka HIS) bathroom. 😆) What sparked this post was the fact that I ran a sink of dish water to wash a few dishes before bed but before I knew it, it was 2 am & I was borderline tide and they weren't clean. Then I thought about the dishwasher needing to be started. Instead of asking him, I figured I'll just get up a little earlier to knock those things out. Let him tell it EYE (I) leave a mess in about 3 rooms in the house compared to him in 1. (Not true but I'm not about...
