No Rest For The Wicked

Does anybody know of any rent houses in Ft. Worth and/or vicinity needing a renter? My landlords have decided to sell the house I am living in. They're fine with me staying here while it's on the market, of course, because they don't want to lose the rent income, but I'm not exactly keen on the idea of having a lock box on the front door and people traipsing in and out of here, possibly casing the joint; especially since I have already been robbed once. I also don't always have time to keep the house in the manner it should be kept for showing. I had planned to move out of this neighborhood once I graduate in May, but I was sure hoping to stay here until then. I'm really, really tired of dodging bullets and would love to relax into my life a little bit. There's always something, isn't there? It could be worse. I could be completely homeless with small children to worry about. I could have a terminal illness along with no health care.I could live in a war-torn country.I could be a Tanzanian Albino. I'm not being flip. I'm trying to will myself out of indulging in self-pity.

Sorry you have to move, and that you're in a horrible neighborhood. I've found nothing helps me when I have self-pity than thinking about the misery of others (cancer usually does it for me). I promise I'm not beling flip, just trying to help with a sprinkle of perspective :)

Keep in mind how much you resented the move that resulted in you moving to your current home. You survived it and things are working out. So long as every move you make takes you a step closer to some place you want to be, the move will be a good thing. Find something you absolutely hate about your current home and make that a priority to NOT be a part of your next home. That is called, moving up.

Best of luck, my friend.
