LIFE AS A HOUSE

This is my home.

It’s got great bones,

And it’s seen a LOT of change lately…

But I feel like it needs a bit of work.

Everything is slightly outdated -

Like a version of myself

That made sense 10 years ago,

But just doesn’t anymore.

I’m not quite sure where to begin…

I feel like I want to re-do everything at the same time.

Renovate EVERY room,

Simultaneously,

Until it feels ‘right’.

Until it feels more like the ME,

Right NOW.

I know the vibe I’m going for,

But I’m so preoccupied about nailing the final outcome

That I’m struggling with the day-to-day…

I'm floating from room

To room,

To room…

Leaving half-started, unfinished projects behind me,

Like a trail of my own discarded enthusiasm…

What do I want?

…And how do I get from here,

To there?

Maybe I need to hit pause on this full ‘home reno’,

And do some thinking,

And some prioritizing.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, after all

And neither will this new house be.

Any good thing takes TIME.

And EFFORT.

And a STRONG WORK ETHIC.

I forget that sometimes…

So, in the meantime,

I’ll try to figure out which rooms in this house

Are the most important to me -

And think about what I can do TODAY

To be one step closer to ‘home’,

TOMORROW.
