I WANT TO RETIRE

I don't want to be a gypsy anymore. I've seen the other side and I want a white picket fence, a puppy and a garden. I don't want to live in a stupid apartment anymore and pay rent out my ass to nosy landlords.
Why is having something that is so normal so unattainable? Why can't I have something real? A space of my own. My own little comfortable corner of the world...
I haven't even thrown out all the boxes from my last move and it looks like I'm going to need them again at the end of the month.
Where is my house?
Where are my roots?
When is it ok to unpack and put pictures on the wall?

Hey, I think you can have all of those things. I think you already probably do have them on a spiritual level. You simply need to bring them to you on this plane. Start telling yourself everyday that you are settling down, that you are becoming stable, that the house, fence, and puppy are materializing for you. It will happen.

I prefer a slightly droopy chain link fence with no puppy.
I know waiting is frustrating, but there's this old cliche that you've probably heard a million times..goes something like "the grass is always greener..."
Be well, bom.

Tough break.
There is no corner of the world that belongs to anyone.
-----"What is he talking about?"-----
If in the lawful precedence of things, if someone were to raid your house, you would pursue compensation.
If the world blows up, you can't get compensation... ya dig? (Compensation for what? You never owned anything...)
It's never "Yours" it may be your temporary stomping grounds, but just like the alpha-wolf who roams "his" planes, his time will pass, and the land will stay.

Then sadness pervades your body, eh?
Should've pursued that degree in business and scored yourself a nice trophy wife.

Whatever. I couldn't afford college. I started working and living on my own at 16. As for hot trophy wife, I'd rather have a sensible, loving woman who I respect and care for more than anything. Maybe I don't have the house in the suburbs with the picket fence, but I know I can survive in the forest or on the streets after a major cataclysm with little to nothing.
Who are you anyway?

House in suburbia? 
Having your own place is not hard to obtain. You might have to pay off a 30 year loan... but hey, if thats the illusion you want the illusion of security and comfort... well, i dont really blame you.
You simply have to choose what you want remember these words: focus, patience, manifest and it'll be yours.

"When all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed"
Man did I learn that lesson. Most of my life I have been pretty poor. I mean, when I was a young kid it was not uncommon for the electricity to be cut off, for the garbage man to stop picking up trash due to non-payment, etc. I had so many dreams of "when I get money I am gonna do...".
Well, several years later after working hard, owning a few businesses and selling them for good money I was able to do what I always dreamed of doing when I was a young buck. So I go ahead and do the things I thought would make me happy and after time I had the "Peggy Sue syndrome " where I asked, 'Is that all that there is'?
Be careful in what you wish for, it may come true.
Fantasies are just that, fantasies. Once they come true one will probably feel as though they've been ripped off, for the glitter is a whole light brighter in your dreams than in reality.
In retrospect I just wish that I would have learned how to feel comfortable being in my own skin rather than chasing after extraneous whims to make me happy.
Now I am in the process of re-learning just what makes me happy, without input from the visage of wealth and what MTv/Hollywood tells us what will make us happy.
Think, think, think.
