Here’s something I want to be really honest about: change is hard, even when you know it’s the right move.
Leaving this 120-year-old house is emotional. We’ve loved this place. Our neighbors are more than neighbors—they’ve become friends and family. The walls have seen joy, laughter, milestones, and even tears. It’s not easy to close the door on all of that.
I’ve cried while boxing up dishes. I’ve stood in the middle of the living room and thought about all the times we gathered there. And I’ve wondered, even for just a second, if we’re making a mistake.
But then I remember something: leaving doesn’t mean it wasn’t good. It means the season has shifted. Our neighbors’ rising generation needs this house now. And honestly? That’s a beautiful thing. We’re not being pushed out—we’re stepping aside so another family can make memories here, too.
So yes, it’s bittersweet. But the hard part of letting go is what makes room for the beautiful new beginning ahead. RV life isn’t about running away. It’s about leaning into possibility. It’s about choosing to embrace the unknown because that’s where growth and creativity live.
And at the end of the day, I’d rather step forward into something new, even with tears in my eyes, than stay put and never know what could have been.
