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Everything is slightly outdated -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.
