It's hard to see your home falling down. Nothing is quite as awesome as owning your first house, & you put so much love into it & have so much pride for it. Watching it decay is, for me, like watching a family member die slowly. It really hurts. :-(

I try to see the good side of things. Not in an annoying way, I hope. ^_^ It's just that I believe we are the sum of our experiences, & I want those experiences to be more positive than negative, for me.
