i'm sure these a house-porn councellor somewhere in the world... you could look to those of us who are living in quad-plexes for reassurance of the good house life. Ha.
I think I'm the only one who doesn't want to live in a house... I have little desire for more room than I need. I'm pretty sure that I'd be happy in a relatively small place - even an apartment - just so long as it was relatively comfortable and had character (for example, I would have to be allowed to paint it, etc.).
However, I definitely understand your pursuit. I think people would be liars if they claimed not to. Although I fully disclose that my advice is also the pursuit of unreachable pleasure, I would recommend trying to uphold those ideals you associate with a house and not the house itself - especially when you are in the position of receiving your desire. Finally, be sure to rejoice once you have acheived it, for if you quickly forget that which you have worked so hard for, you will never find joy.
I'm just a farm girl at heart. I wasn't meant to be contained in a little box among little boxes filled with people. I want space to grow potatoes. I want walls that aren't institutional grey. I want enough room to have guests stay with me and not sleep on the floor. I'm unashamed of my wants.
Anyway... thanks for your fortune cookie concern. Don't worry. I promise to appreciate my someday-house the same way I appreciate my current-car. It had a similar level of anticipation, growing each time my bus didn't feel like showing up over a period of several years.
I didn't mean for that to sound like reproach. I think your intentions are pure and that your desires are worth fighting for - when I say 'need', I, of course, am still refering to more than basics. I wasn't attempting to describe anything vicious about your goal, simply stating that I seem to be alone in not sharing it. Even in a grey house, you would be and admirable woman.
