Not BIG CITY - time to move

Nope – NOT for me. Time to start the search for new housing.

After many, many lists where written out and board meetings held in my head, the glaring result is I am not a BIG CITY life person.

After finding out that everything takes an hour to get to even though you live less than 10 miles away, I want to drive on the highway an hour and be moving no sitting and loathing.

Townhomes/Condos/Apartments are truly the adult version of a dormitory. There are even those annoying hall monitors of sorts – these come in the form of towing companies who sneak in the middle of the night and tow away vehicles not properly marked, making you THINK you have had your vehicle STOLEN, only to have to surrender a small fortune as dues for this mistake ☹

Not having freedom to maintain my living space made me feel like a caged animal.

  

Voice 1 who always says, "Be polite your mother raised you to be a nice person!"  repeats her earlier DONOT  lose control and curse at the fools who obviously failed to attend Drivers Education. DONOT tell off the kid in the hall bouncing the ball for an hour straight. DONOT go up and threaten the herd of Brontosaurus’ that moved in next door over their blatant disregard to quiet hours.

Voice 2 always reminding me, "Your mother raised to say nothing at all if you have nothing nice to say." Has me using a completely faux customer service voice as I call and inform the office I am leaving the housing development and refusing to tell the clerk what an utter failure to my expectations of this place they have been.

Voice 3 is saying (in her normal annoyed voice of adult reason) Why did I do this???? WHERE are you going to move too? SERIOUSLY – ummm girl you about to be homeless!

Voice 4 pipes in, having perpetual PMS, is snapping out her usual slew of profanity… @#$%^&* AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS when you lose your temper and can no longer deal with other humans!!! GREAT now Oakley and you are homeless!!!! !@#$%^&

Voice 5 comments with today’s uplifting quote.  “Taking risks and making choices is what makes life so exciting”

Voice 6, with all her jolly personality, with all her determination to take over the world one step at a time, tossing glitter along the way smiles and states Oakley and I will make this work, remember Nothing is permanent in life.

Still, embracing the idea of Enjoy the hand you are dealt. I still cry myself to sleep some nights, just not as often. I still curse the choices I made in the past, just not as often. I keep on laughing, smiling, & enjoying each moment – because I now know it literally it won't  again 😊

Thanks for the read! XOXO
