Mostly, I am content with my lot, but the way you write about your life always makes me want to live it. I'm in suburbia; suburbia has nowhere near as much magic as your house seems to. ♥

I'm the same way with light catching or glimpsing at something in a certain way; you can walk past an object every single day and think nothing of it, and then suddenly the sunlight catches on it just right or something's reflected in its shadow and you remember.
