I think I've figured out why we call it
a 'household'
even though people forget how much a house holds
your childhood
your family bonding and breaking
the laughter & tears
your house has seen you at your best
and at your worst
the walls know all your secrets
all the dents you've made
scratches you've left
and walls you've decorated-
gone
when you move
you're not just leaving a familiar place
you're leaving a piece of you
to create space for new beginnings
