[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here — I love houses and interior design and my house is pretty gorgeous. When we moved to this city, I said “ I want to live in only this street,” and so we rented there. Then my favorite house on the street went up for sale and here we are.

However, I do have a tendency to blame things on houses and to look for excuses to move. It’s sad! It’s like I love houses so much that I expect too much from them or something and then I get disappointed. [/quote]

I'm an interior designer and so I obviously love houses, but honestly I care very little about possessions. I don't have any attachment to our furniture or items, even those pieces we found overseas or that were in my kids' bedrooms. I could leave our house, which I think is gorgeous, and everything and not feel sad. Our homes serve as creative expression, and that can lift our spirits and give us purpose. But, a house can't make you happy. Only your thoughts can make you happy. Besides, it's impossible to be happy all the time, no matter what. Try journaling, meditation, gratitude, and CBT. They all help me. [/quote]
