So I remember when I first saw this house, it had lots of charm...tons. As I viewed it I noticed there were some creeks in the wood as I walked across and it needed some minor repairs but it was fine with me, all I knew is that I really liked the place. So in less than a month, the house belonged to me. I was so excited I went and got brand new furniture for it and new paint and everything, I invited people over every chance I got to show them my new place and they were happy for me. I had been living there for 6 month by that time I had got use to the place and realized that the excitement i had for it had gone....don't get me wrong, I still loved my place but I had no reason to be excited anymore, I guess I had gotten comfortable. Time went by and all the stuff I had been doing for the house stopped, I had gotten lazy, before I knew even the little things about the house bothered me...things that i knew about the house before I bought it, like the creek in the wood. I would sometimes sit on the porch and look around the neighborhood to see the nicely painted houses and their freshly mowed lawns and pretty green grass. I remember when my grass was as green as theirs were, but it started to turn a little brown and I stopped cutting it so that brown dead grass had spread across the yard and grew and grew. At this point and time I was tired with this place,the same people that were happy for me when I bought it start telling me it wasn't worth it and to sell the place.As much as I love this place, the things that everyone had been saying started to make since. I would ride around looking at new houses and in my mind i knew i wasn't going to buy them but hey i was just looking, not knowing that made me start comparing my house to the ones I saw on the streets in which I thought were better than mine. The more I stopped caring about the house the more it started falling apart and by that time I couldn't take it anymore so i decided to put the house on the market. I said to myself having a house is too much for me at the time and I don't think I'm ready for it so I rented a nice little apartment, it was a month to month lease and I had no real commitment to the place, I didn't have to put in any work...I just lived there but you know with time I then grew tired of living in an apartment and missed how it felt to have my own home. I went and searched around til finally something caught my eye. Same as the last one...I was excited, I showed it off, I got new things for it but you know what.. after awhile its grass start turning brown and even in this house things feel apart...even worst. I sat and wondered what happen to the house that I sold so I decided to ride by and see it. Wow, it looked great!! It had nice green grass, new paint and even some add ons. I couldn't believe my eyes. By the time i got home all i could think about was how good that house looked now and How I should have kept it. I like my new house but that house was something special and as I see all I needed to do was water and cut the grass sometimes and fix things when it got broken not to mention I let people make me believe I had a peace of crap house. I woke up the next morning and went straight to home depot to get things to fix the issues in my home, I bought a lawn mower and a garden hoes. I was determine to get my home together. Today I walk around my home and its looks wonderful, new appliances,paint and everything. I sat on the porch and took a look at my nice green grass and mowed lawn, then I realized that all this time I had let my place fall apart and all it need was a few minor repairs.
