*feel free to ignore this bs..but sometimes I can’t help but write about my mental state on a photo that kind of relates to me*

My brain feels as if it is full of fog. I know this fog wont last forever but I can't help but feel like it will. I feel very selfish right now because I've had a week off but my self care I feel like has become away for me to avoid myself. A series of distractions. My body and mind feel weirdly further away. I'm not sure how to describe it. I'm not dissociative but I can't say that isn't it I suppose. I'm drinking coco and eating dark chocolate. I feel it melt in my mouth. I feel the tips of my fingers touch the keys. I'm moving thoughts to my fingers trying to expel whatever is in my head. I'm here but a part of me does feel incredibly frustrated that I can't relax. That thoughts feel as if they need to explode in order to come to me and that I'm where I am in my life in a basement at home when I feel more talented than that but also I deserve this because those who work hard deserve to move and I've been to afraid to move in life so that is why I'm here slowly sliding in on myself like some kind of stupid black hole of shame.

I believe that domestic building regulations contribute to unaffordable housing. Yes, safety standards need to be enforced. However, forcing people to build large, expensive homes to maintain aesthetics and $$ value of an area is the issue.

Imagine if the land owner could build a dwelling of their choice to actually suit their needs. Even if this meant a simple 2 bedroom kit home which left ample room for a yard and a manageable $$ outlay. Naturally the building would have to meet safety standards. This isn’t about allowing tents, shanties, long term caravans, portaloos, no plumbing, shipping containers or unsafe DIY creations to fill the suburbs and threaten health.

Could more people afford to access housing? Smaller homes take less $$ to run and maintain. Yard space could allow some self sufficiency to happen.
