The House That Writes Me Back

Dear house — I know you are only a set of rooms, and rented ones at that. But you have been the quietest kindness of my adult life.
You held me through winters when the pipes hummed and the radiator clanked out its stubborn small song. You gave me a window that faced east, and a kitchen table just wide enough for a notebook and a lamp.
A house is not made of walls. It is made of the mornings you have inside of it.
When I leave, I will take almost nothing. But I will carry the shape of your light with me for a long time.
