5 years ago I was working for a local news broadcast (CBS affiliate), going into a doomed marriage, and a period of the worst depression in my life. Yet today I feel like I did...sometime in the past? Back when I was hopeful and ready for the wonder of mystery to move through me.
5 years ago I might have had some inkling I& #39;d be kind of close to where I am today, but certainly not exactly here. I would have put myself starting a family, moving into a new house or something.
I& #39;ve been in this house since August 2005, coming up on 15 years now. This place was meant to be a temporary living arrangement for the 3 years of college I had left at that point, and that became 4 years, then another year for grad school, and I& #39;m still here. Feels... okay.
I hate a lot of things about this house& #39;s structure, but the place is good. The centerline of the roof has a jaunt in it, the attic is too narrow to stand up in, the wiring sucks, the living room is terribly inefficient, and there& #39;s the middle room which just takes up space.
Despite all that, this place feels very homey. I& #39;ve had several people comment that the energy in my house is super chill, and they love it for that. (I need super chill energy because my ADHD would send me orbital otherwise.)
There& #39;s no real point to these tweets, I& #39;m just reflecting. 5 years is a long time. A lot can happen. A lot can stay the same, too.
I think I channeled this scene making this thread: https://youtu.be/cD4nhYR-VRA ">https://youtu.be/cD4nhYR-V...
