Transcript

I am an old century home.

I am well loved and when one thing requires maintenance it is an unraveling of chores.

I meant to change a light bulb and rewired the electricity instead.

Everything is connected in this evolving home of mine.

Intertwined,

Symbiotic,

Interdependent,

Harmonious.

This old century home.

She's worth the maintenance.

Easy for me to connect to the message within this poem....I love old buildings and I can even add to the message that older buildings are more sturdy than newer, they need upkeep yet the newer structures with weaker walls break faster and need to be replaced not just maintained. ;) πŸ™πŸΌ

Great analogy for the self care & self worth we should be putting into ourselves. Having grown up in a house that is ~120 years old I can relate literally & metaphorically
