What the hell were we thinking?!

The moment I've been anticipating has arrived. The house is now for sale, with showings happening this week. I can’t help but wonder, "Is this the right choice?" I knew I would eventually feel overwhelmed by the uncertainty, despite my desire for a fresh start. We’re giving up a low fixed-rate mortgage and spacious living during a tough time for homebuyers. As I sit in our camper, I question why I chose to be without a traditional home. Rationally, I know this is common and that it’s a minor issue in the grand scheme of things. We’ve weighed our risks and rewards, knowing our previous situation wasn’t right. Yet, I find myself feeling unexpectedly attached to our home, even though I had previously resented its size, upkeep, and location so far from everything that I felt calling to me. Now, it feels like a security blanket has been taken away, leaving me exposed. Why do we doubt ourselves? Sometimes, it feels like our minds haven’t fully adapted to the challenges of 2024. Then I remind myself that while AI is knocking at our doorsteps, begging to think for us, I’m grateful to still feel and think as a human. Here we all are, doing our best. The unknown will always feel scary. But, that doesn’t mean it’s going to turn out badly.
