    i told my partner about 8 years ago that i wanted to move to China and she laughed at me… i read this to her and now she’s regretting we didn’t move.

    we’re trying to find a 3 bedroom house to rent so her parents can come stay long-term with us for under $6000/mo and it’s next to impossible.
