Having bought my dream home, it dawned upon me that deciding upon a house is akin to falling in love.
When you first set your eyes on it/him, you cannot believe
your eyes – can such wondrous being exist? Is it true, is it tangible? Your heart
skips a beat.
Perhaps I should not get carried away, I remind myself at
the beginning. After all, there may be others out there who can give you the
same feeling. Don’t settle so soon, so fast, or...so easily – the rational mind speaks.
So you look elsewhere. You share with good friends all the
areas of concern you have. You want to know all the negative things that they
could possibly think of and which you could possibly have turned a blind spot
to. You make a mental note of all these areas, scribbling them down so that you
don’t overlook any. You go back and ruminate.
Perhaps that’s not for me. See,
all my friends think so.
The passage of time makes the call. Your rational mind
answers, and so does the emotive heart. You cannot stop thinking – you have the
answer. You have found THE ONE.
