Having a million dollar view seemed like something to boast about when I was young and naïve. I didn’t care that I did not love the inside of our house. On the surface everything seemed fine. And in the beginning it was. Our daily commute included a drive along the scenic Sea to Sky highway, I think it was voted one of the best in the world. The significant change from the multiple sirens and the congested downtown roads was literally a breath of fresh air. Mountain air to be exact. We lived on the mountain surrounded by nature, what could go wrong?
Like everything else in life, the daily commute lost it’s luster over the years and the amount of traffic grew. Being in a secluded area felt almost desolate, lacking of life. Moreover I felt like Bill Murray in that movie, Ground Hog Day.
What was worse, was living in a town house complex where everyone participated in daily gossip. It was like high school but only with adults. It’s like as if I went there to realize a dream but then finding out that all my other dreams had to die.
Okay maybe I am being a little dramatic but it was approximately 2 years until the glamour began to fade. And to be honest, I don’t regret that we made the decision to move there. For all its worth, I can now say I have experienced owning and living in a location with a beautiful view that is not too far…
