I don’t know you, but I love you fellow tornado being. Your stories remind me that it’s okay to be inapologetically me. Keep rocking who you are. You’re an all-star! ✨✨✨
I have so much gratitude for you sharing this because I thought I was the only one!! We moved states away from a place where we had rock solid community to a place where we knew legit no one. We bought a house and the day we moved in I had the biggest pit in my stomach. My body knew. I had the hardest year and a half of mg life in that house. Severe depression and loneliness. We ended up selling our house for no profit and moving somewhere else. Why did we move there in the first place? I don’t know. God makes no mistakes though. All I know is transformation happened.
I love the reimagining you’re doing of what it could look like owning this house. It’s a beautiful vision and I hope you keep sharing how it evolves!!
As someone who moved to Leelanau last September, I felt this so much, and loved reading about your curiosities for other options. Can't wait to read more about your process.
So beautiful and so tragic and so real! I too have been fantasizing about house trades and a bicoastal snowbird lifestyle where I’m able to spend more time with faraway best friends... it’s a long shot but lmk if Alaska ever fits into your travel plans 🙃
Ugh I so relate to this. I live in a big city and have been dreaming of a rural life. Been wanting to own my own home forever and it’s impossible here.
But community. Yes. I’d miss my friends even though I am working so much I barely see them. But they are here. So thank you for the reminder!!!!
Just sending love. And ease. And watching Sex and The City for the first time because when it first came out they were the pretty popular girls and now I know they grow up to be middle aged women just like me.
I understand. Have you tried boating? My cool friends run Maritime Heritage Alliance in Traverse City. They have a sailboat to use for the public to learn on free.
Sending a big hug for the loneliness. I think of you all the time my love, and feel you through the distance. Thank you for this beautiful reflective piece ❤️
I too, recently moved to a new, rural community and constantly have to ask myself if the space feels like solitude or isolation. The struggle is real. But I just try and notice those glimmers of solitude.
I've thought about moving to some place like AZ or FL for the winters, but I think about how alone I would be. All of my friends and family live here and I'm somewhat of an introvert. Anyway, if you have any desire to visit GR, I have a room for you or we could do a house swap for a week or so.
I was watching the same SATCA episode yesterday evening. I felt like it wasn’t for me anymore. Maybe because I was cosmically letting go for a new generation.

Thank you for sharing some of the textures of loneliness.

Mar it's the both-and! We LUVE it and you and all your houses!
The web is woven near and far

Yes Mar, yes. You can have both, always. You just find a way and there are both, or all.

Man, the framing of “happy decisions” as opposed to “good decisions” feels like a beneficial shift for me... thanks for sharing. ✨
