Yo as someone with anxiety and probably ADD and also definitely getting old, FUCK NOISE. I've always been super sensitive to sounds, but I swear it's getting worse. There's only so much ambient music and noise-canceling headphones can do. And as much as I feel a lot of my basic needs would be met in closer proximity to a city/urban area (and also feel safer being in public as a queer person), my soul belongs in the middle of nowhere.

Also, what the fresh fuck do people with massive houses with 4+ bedrooms??? I just want something small and cute and covered in vines and with more animal neighbors than human neighbors, yet all I can find currently for the middle of the woods homes in Mass are obscenely huge in size and price. Or I'd need to move to Western Mass and have a 2+ hour commute.

Sigh. I hate it.
