I want to be excited. We can move next weekend, so no commuting from M's parents/living with friends and family. Why am I not more excited? Why do I feel dread, tearful, terrified?
P, my brother, sighed loudly when I asked him these same questions. He was with J, and kept breaking off mid-sentence to give an update ("no, no she's just crazy, won't be long, yes, it's about the house...") and summarised quite accurately that I had chosen to make the move and what, exactly, was I complaining about. In a nutshell, and in no means in order of precedence, I'm fretting about...how will I get to work, how will I get to bikram, will I be safe in the flat, and will M and I love each other in this new place?
Will we?
Nothing more to add on this tonight. I'll hopefully be more positive tomorrow.
Basil.
Don't worry. I remember this phenomenon well. Moving is awkward and uncomfortable and makes you all kinds of insecure in ways you may not have even realised were possible. I found takeaways and champagne very helpful, but whatever soothes you is good.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your new place!
