Sometimes it helps to write down the facts of a situation, and since I make everything else about my alleged “life” public I might as well do this here.
Pro
- It’s the only place I have ever been able to truly relax. No other living arrangement, from at home with my parents, to living with a significant other, to living alone in apartments, ever provided anything close
- It allows me to have my hobby, which is my only real distraction and the thing I love more than anything else in the world
- If and when I am able to work on fixing it up, I feel better
Con
- It’s not many years from falling apart if I’m unable to continue fixing it up. I seem unable to resolve the lifestyle problems (need for transportation) that prevent me from fixing it up
- I’m at high risk if I lose social services
I will add to this as other pros & cons occur to me. These are the obvious ones.
