I’m definitely in the regret we sold camp. And rebuying hoping we’ll heal.

But a couple things that confuse me are. Are we emotionally attached to the property / lake / location or the memories themselves?

I feel like we are acknowledging and reviewing the memories when we sold it. Memories we can relive.

We get choked up when we sold our 20 year old rusted out Jeep and replacing it with a shiny new one. My daughter grew up having that Jeep and we went hiking with it and it got us to the lake and back reliably year after year. Clearly the new Jeep will be better, safer etc. than the old one. But we are still sad.

Should we have kept the old one forever? Isn’t it the same thing?
