The House That Was Like The High School Crush

by Katja Presnal on March 21, 2009

I told you I had a crush on a beautiful house, and it was like the high school crush on that boy.

I had the first date with house yesterday, and to my surprise, the house had more in common with the high school boy crush than I would have thought of.

Looked fabulous outside at the first look. But rough on the edges, even some rotten corners, and lots of skeletons in the closets. When I was in high school, I thought I could fix those imperfections with lots of love and care.

I wasted 5 years of my life, and was left with lots of heart ache and bruises.

This time I’m smarter.
There are things in life you just can’t fix. Or even if you can, it isn’t just worth it.

4 Jennifer, Snapshot March 23, 2009 at 11:43: We were SO in love with a house as well, but it didn’t work out. We knew in our hearts that it wasn’t the right way to go, so we were okay with it. We knew it was a crush, and the thing about a crush (instead of true love), is that when it’s over you sort of wonder what you even saw in it, you know?

Here’s to finding your true love.
