Have you already felt like this?

My house is surrounded by woods, and it always felt like the identity of the house. It was supposed to be a preservation area, but, out of nowhere, a construction company got authorization to build 120 houses.

When they started cutting everything down, 2 month and 2 miles away, we could already see several animals running or trying to find food here.

Some of the animals were very uneasy and I could feel that on my soul when they reached my fence today. Even though it is not "my place" it feels like they are destroying my home. Even thought I know they will not invade my house, it feel like I have to stop them.

Fight or run.

They destroyed my fence.

It destroyed my soul. I have no more woods around here. It feels so vulnerable. It feels like any storm will blow my house away.

It doesn't feel like home anymore.

I wish I could at least try to fight like the animals around here.

Because it feels like I am an animal. Who have to fight if I to protect my needs.
