Well, things have finally slowed down a bit. It's probably because it's 9:50 pm, and it's time to go to bed, but actually all of today has felt like a deceleration. That doesn't mean that I haven't felt completely stressed out, but today definitely feels different. I feel almost reverent. What about?
Well....I guess some of it has to do with the fact that moving on makes you see what you have had all along. Change can be like that. The little things that you took for granted become magnified. But, change can also persuade you to cling to the familiar for comfort, even when the familiar has been a negative part of your life. Somehow the annoyances become glossed over. The same thing happens when people die. The bad qualities of the person seem to fade away.
Pretty soon, this house is going to be very silent. All of the boxes will be loaded onto the truck. Very soon, we will find ourselves in an equally silent, barren Belgian home. And although the house will be empty, a certain amount of chaos will exist, simply because we are trying to figure things out in that unfamiliar world.
