i was told i would be in my own place by now if i went private. i've had two viewings out of about 30 applications. neither of these properties were something i was willing to pay that much money for. i'm not being picky, i don't think. i feel i'm holding out for the right place i can actually relax in after all the bullshit i've had to put up with for the past few months (decades).
i want to work on myself for once, and i don't mind having to throw some inconsiderate people off the train if it means the train gets to move forward.
