Denial Has an Address. Yours
Let’s face it, the practical argument makes sense. Why spend money on a place that might change? Why unpack? Why put anything of yourself into a space that isn't permanent? Isn’t this just temporary?
But that’s not caution. That's denial with a sensible explanation stapled to it. An excuse.
The old life still feels real. This one doesn't. Keeping the space bare means you don't have to accept that the old one is gone.
Here's what that costs you.
A man who won't live in his space properly won't live properly as himself. Your identity needs somewhere to land. It needs evidence that you exist here, in this life, now. When nothing around you reflects who you are, the question of who you are stays unanswered.
The man who never makes the space his own rarely finds out who he is after a divorce.
Not because he couldn't. Because he never gave himself the conditions.
If you're recognising yourself in this, it’s worth paying attention to it.
The chemistry call is free. No pitch, no pressure. Just a conversation about where you are and whether working together makes sense.
