The actual move traumatised me at every possible level - i was sleep deprived, physically exhausted and couldn't settle in quickly enough.
This is probably the boldest thing I have done yet; But I am positive that after some time, I will be able to look back and appreciate this change.
As resistant as we are to major change, it is necessary in moving forward.
My new cave is very different - it comes with noise and grit from the main road - but I do get an unobstructed view and a balcony which supports plant growth.
I left a lot of memorable furniture behind - it's best to start fresh - i'm sentimental about things, but i should grow up and deal with not wanting to 'pay for' excess baggage in whatever form.
My cave is not fully ready yet, in terms of my putting my personal stamp on it, but it is coming along nicely. I already feel that I've been unburdened at some deeper level. This may or may not be psychological, but as long as I am functioning at optimal level, I should be thankful and consider myself blessed.
