But I tried to make things work for a while
Just when I was enjoying getting into this whole being an adult thing, I moved back to my dad’s beach house with the quality heating and AC system. So much for all the bright lights that I saw from highschool through college and into my mid twenties. I felt like most folks had it wrong because life sure seemed simple to me. Well, maybe simple is the wrong term. I found plenty of difficulties along the way, but none could stop my progress. Instead of going to parties in highschool and college, I chose to stay inside the central air conditioner of my room and read. Being social was important to me. But going to parties every day seemed like a waste of energy when I could be working toward something. Perhaps that’s why I felt directed by bright lights all the way. I got a job with a company immediately after I graduated college. I worked in a fantastic building downtown that had excellent zone controlled Heating and A/C. I managed to have a home with no roommate on my salary. The home wasn’t the best, but it also wasn’t awful. And I tried to hang on to it after I lost my job when the pandemic hit. Right away, my parents requested I move back home until I could get back on my feet. But I tried to make things work for a while. Finally, I took them up on their kind offer. While I was planning my next move, it was at least I loved the fantastic HVAC system in their home.
