Getting excited about buying a house and then getting super sad about moving and leaving stuff like the forest I love behind is a normal brain thing and does not mean this is all a horrible mistake, right?

I wouldn't change how I live now for the world, and still miss a few of my old flats/rooms. It's absolutely normal to feel nostalgic about leaving a place.
We found a thing we MIGHT make an offer on today and it’s so cute and I really love it but it is not within walking distance of any forests or large parks and now my heart is hurting
I know that it's something you ultimately have to work out on your own, but that is very real. I grew up super rural and had access to a lot of wild places and the fact that I live in walking distance of a nature reserve was a deciding factor when we bought a house.
Also oh god a mortgage is so much money, property taxes in Baltimore are really high, what about utilities, what if the house catches fire, what if it has an awful curse within its walls, oh no oh no
even when it's time to go to a new part of your life, the loss of the change always hurts.
i grieve with you, sunny, as much as a stranger can.
i know you will make goodness where you go.

It has not been a mistake. There are things I miss, but there's so much that I love.
STILL the best decision. Yes, I'm responsible for A BUILDING, but it's *my* building. I can do whatever I want.
And it was only 6 years before the rent on my old apartment passed my mortgage.

Owning a house is not always easy, but it is undeniably the best decision I ever made in my 50+ years on this planet.
