Ooor… you’re in a stage of building a more stable base from which you can grow and venture out from once again.

Life comes in phases

You're right about life and phases, I do sometimes think that our trajectories are fixed but they don't have to be, although age is certainly something I can't ignore.

It would be nice to have had this period of huge instability after I got through this hurdle, but c'est la vie. I may be very far from finding housing stability but least I have a lot more of a fallback than I used to. Namely the right to live here permanently.

Oh man. I just realised what I said was intended to be encouraging/hopeful but could be toxic positivity. Sorry
