How is it that there is an endless supply of seemingly important tasks to occupy your time with, that help to push what you're afraid to complete, further into a dusty attic with not...'unlimited' space, but space enough to hold the baggage of a lifetime, certainly. Maybe this is what drives the real estate market or our want to build a life together, to one day buy a home together. A dream to one day have a space that will hold all of our baggage in a quite literal and metaphorical sense." Once I have a place for my baggage, a safe space, perhaps I will feel safe." You better be able to buy that house outright and still live comfortably. Which in today's times who can? Because otherwise, now that I think on it more, you get your supposed safe space, then feel worried, you may lose it. Then you spend the rest of your days trying not to lose it. I know, I know," grass is always greener", but from the outside it certainly seems easier to be rich. I'm still rolling with my fantasy, that common one, that one that says I will one day slip into that easy-breezy-hard-work mentality where I have all the right habits, complete all my assigned tasks both given and self-generated, and plateau into a lazy river of success, abundance, ease, and nobility. In the meantime, try not to sweat the small stuff.
