I'm over at my aunt and uncle's house helping them with renovations and relieving the stress that comes along with that. However, while staying here I have realized despite them being very wealthy they have some interesting beliefs which I will not discuss here. I can relate to them on some level, yet on another I cannot.
What I really want to comment on is the beautiful neighborhood they live in. No crime, all the houses are three stories ranging in price 200k-300k, beautiful scenery, and it is so peaceful... Today I pondered if such a life is actually worth living and if I would ever experience it. Being wealthy is nice in some aspects, you have enough money for healthcare, a glorious home, to fix your car or bad appliances, properly care for your children, and to give nice gifts to others. In the end though, I've realized it doesn't make people any happier; it just makes their lives easier to live in some cases. Plus, that beautiful 3 story home will not be yours forever. When you die, someone else will get it, and before that when you get old it will be a pain to climb the steps. Was all that money worth it in the end? You won't have that house or money in your next life...
In my whole lifespan of nearly 20 years I have lived in an old house, a new house, and currently someone else's home and has made me raise a true question: do I deserve my own home? Or would it be better if I just rented my whole life?
I'm not sure which cheaper, since with renting you can't do whatever you want to your homespace whereas with your own home you can. Getting one's own home is expensive and requires lots of tending to, yet you have the right of calling it your 'own'. In the end I wonder though, is it really yours? neutral
Forgive me, I tend to be pessimistic in such matters since me and my family lost our home a few years ago thanks to my father and I had to watch some of our old belongings get thrown away by strangers. emo
In a brighter light I am progressing in my own manga and did manage to finish that commission for a friend of mine, however, they found some flaws in it that I have to fix. The problem is they can be a bit hard to fix and will throw off more features which will take more time for me to fix than need be and will just agitate me in the end. I was already stressed enough this week, so badly that I wanted a cigarette early in the week and I don't even smoke. neutral
I also found out deviantart cut their year premium price in half so I'm considering going premium on there and doing some commissions for others. I'm going to start with fan art since lots of people seem to like that. Maybe this time I'll get more views than my older profile which out of 5 years only got 6,000 views stare
Anyways, I will go back to working on my manga, dream avi, and helping my relatives around the house. Hope everyone else is having a better week~
sincerely,
