I have been avoiding finding out specific information about home prices in my area. I bought my house 3 years ago and I'm scared to think it may be many years before I am able to sell it on and make back what I spent. Not that I want to right now, but the thought has crossed my mind. This thread may just prompt me into finally finding out how much I have lost.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
