Moving

Let me start by saying that moving, changing residence, is one activity that I truly despise. Really, I hate this process.

It is, however, the better option on occasion. Adapt, Migrate or Perish. These being the only three choices you have in any situation, I have opted to migrate.

Adapting would mean tolerating (learning to sleep through) the bullshit supplied by a mentally unstable neighbour and the noise created by young drunks. Not interested.  I will not allow it to make me sick and tired, to challenge me any further, to have my life shortened by it. Others perishing would be a lovely thing but unfortunately, I do not see it happening with any convenience.

That leaves migration. Admittedly, the new local will not be a whole lot better. It is what it is and I just need to get away from here before something very unpleasant occurs. I do not believe anymore I will ever be able to afford the kind of place I would be happy at. Certainly not where I currently live, Southern California. Only the very very rich can afford personal space in So Cal.

I suppose a bit of peace and quiet is just too fucking much to ask for. To lay down to sleep and not be woken up by loud music, drunk +10 volume talking, people screaming into their phones while wandering around the common area. People too drunk to know where they are breaking things, stealing from me.

Quite – that is all I want – some quiet.  One day of quite on this earth so I can (and will !!) die happy. Makes me sad to wish it would hurry up and happen already.

There is an odd freeing feeling that comes with ‘losing the stuff’ – having to downsize and eliminate. Pick and choose what is important or at least replaceable. I wish more big stuff was less important and the little (light) stuff was. Not working out that way. About 50/50 if that is even possible to qualify that way.

Finding and appreciating the big picture, the effect this will have on  ‘the plan’, that oh so mysterious bright side, is what I need to do. Hello bright side, come out come out where ever you are!
