When I got home, I took some notes. The more I thought about it, the more I realized how much of that anxiety was all in my head.
I had created the drama and the worry.
After all, it was just a house, and its preserved details like the banister and the steps were simply its way of winking at me.
As if to say: “Hi, it’s me, and I’m not your enemy. I look a little different, but it’s still me.”
For every bad memory I had been clinging to, I finally realized there were some good ones too.
