I gotta be honest y’all, there’s a lot of things that are mentally exhausting, but I think moving has got to be one of the worst ones.
Packing up all the stuff you own, just to move it somewhere else in the hot summer heat. Can’t afford a house, so it won’t be the last time. Realizing all of the garbage you’ve collected over the last few years, and reeling at the sheer amount of stuff there is to donate or throw away.
It’s just completely exhausting. I really hope someday the housing situation in this country mellows out so we never have to go through this again.
I live w/my parents in a semi-rural area and I have medical issues. Thinking about the likelihood that I could fit in at an intentional community. And yeah, thinking about (1) temperatures not being cool enough (and recently, smoke) (2) not being able to travel their with my own legs AND take my stuff on my own (even my desktop is big! and I don’t have a rack on my cheap+small ebike).
Letting the days go by.
