My indecisive decision

I have no idea what the planets were doing at the precise moment I was born but they were probably all racing round until 'time's up!'.  We have an indecisive one here.  They probably shouldn't have asked me where I wanted them to be.
 
There's a global shift towards a simpler life and my indigenous soul wanted to join them.    When that first spark of desire burned it seemed an impossible dream but as the children left home the spark burst into a small flame.  I tried to ignore it and my practical self tried for years to make sense of a single person living in a 4-bedroom home and no matter how many plans I came up with I could never get passionate about it.   My heart yearned for a home that would be smaller than the lounge I was sitting in and I wondered if the reality would match the fantasy.  Sometimes we are held back by the fear of what we don't know what we don't know (love Johari window).   Stepping off the property ladder during a housing shortage and Covid economy was like stepping into an abyss.   When I closed the door for the last time it was pouring with rain and my entire life fit in my little yellow Honda Fit. 

Finding a motorhome wasn't as easy as I thought.  All those people who used to head overseas for their holidays had bought up large.  Covid meant imports were down, so they were all holding their value and getting snaffled up.  Three weeks later I found the motorhome that would be my home with a total length of 6.4m

I can honestly say that I have not had a single regret since making the transition 4 months ago.  That doesn't mean to say that all is 100% perfect.  I myself am perfectly imperfect and imperfectly perfect just as you are.   There is yin yang in everything. 

I now live in a 6.4m long home on wheels

A photo on the wall

I was sitting on the couch the other day looking at the photos of my ancestors that I've never met not far removed.

They were once me (sure I can hear some mumbled denials
- she's your family - no she is yours). They had hopes and dreams just like me and now they are a photo on my wall.

One day I will be a photo on someone's wall..

I want to have a reputation for something, anything... I'll take mad, crazy, eccentric

My mother said she read somewhere that cemeteries have strong energies (exact wording?) . It's a place many people take inventions, ideas and dreams they never brought to light.

This is a photo of my grandmother as a teenager.

    Kia Ora, my name is Heather and I have always been an overthinker.  Being an extrovert often means those thoughts flow down my hands onto the keyboard or out my mouth.  I love the meme I once saw that said something to the effect "I don't like to think before I speak. I like to be just as surprised as everyone else about what comes out of my mouth" ~ The mind Journal.   My introverted self seeks solitude soon after.  You can guarantee that when we have made our decision it was based on just as many pros as there were cons and all the feedback received.  That's the angst of an indecisive overthinker of which I am.   For an unbiased answer I will often consult the coin toss.  It is not the flip of the coin that decides but the immediate response to the result that's the answer.
    ​

    I have always felt that the way to heal is through our connection with nature.   

    This blog is a journey inside the mind of an overthinker.
