Choosing What Feels Right Over What Looks Perfect
So, just weeks away from signing on the dotted line, we made the difficult decision to pull out of the sale. Honestly, I felt physically sick as I hit ‘send’ on the email to the estate agent. They’d been nothing short of incredible throughout the whole entire process, and letting them and everyone else in the chain down was heartbreaking.
But deep down, I knew we’d made the right call.
In the days that followed, the initial guilt slowly gave way to an immense sense of relief. The weight I hadn’t even realised I was carrying lifted, and our house, this little home we almost walked away from felt even more magical than when we first stepped inside all those 14 years ago. Lighter. Warmer. Ours, in a way it hadn’t for months.
And now, with a fresh perspective and exciting plans to enhance the home we already love, the truth is: we couldn’t be happier. This experience taught me that while a dream house might look perfect on paper, it’s the life you build within your walls that matters most.
