Asking For a Sign
How do you know if something is meant to be?
This week I’ve been trying to decide about something I want to do, but I’m not sure if now is the right time.
I’ve been flip-flopping between my head and heart, and they just can’t seem to get on the same page.
Years ago I bought an investment property.
Fresh out of a relationship, it was the first time I’d made such a large purchase on my own. It felt good to be taking control of my financial future.
It was a small, one-bedroom apartment, in a city I didn’t want to move back to, but I fell a little in love with it. If I am honest — to myself — since then it has been a bit of a safety blanket. It felt good to know that if the worst ever did happen, I could always move into it. Not that I wanted to, but I could. It’s been a comforting thought through the many ups and downs since then.
Fast forward twelve years and my life is very different now, but the apartment has always had a little piece of my heart. Market-wise I know it’s not ideal to sell but it feels more and more like it is time to let it go.
The sale will allow me to do something I’ve been wanting to do, but still, it’s surprisingly hard to say goodbye — to know what the right decision really is.
