Just signed up to thank Sam for his excellent work. Always poignant, usually funny, and, occasionally, emotionally raw. I enjoy sharing Rhystic Studies with my wife since she doesn't care for TCG or board games but supports my interests (and I hers!) so I get her in with everything outside the game: lore, history, flavor. Today I was making dinner when she asked to turn on an essay or something for us to listen to. She playing DA: Inquisition in preparation for the next game, me cutting my finger because despite over a decade in kitchens I am still hopeless at home. I happened to be making gyoza, a lifelong favorite of mine and a recipe of my grandma's I've been chasing the flavor of ever since she left in 2016. "We all haunt the houses we live and leave" was not a line I was ready to bring me to tears but it caught me at a crossroads literally. My wife and I are approaching our one year and this have been nothing but incredible through and through but we moved back to her hometown and for me this if the first "REAL" (not college, not a county away) move away from home along with the feelings that come with it. Sam was able to sum up what I'm feeling in one smash of a sentence: I feel almost like a ghost but not like the ghosts we live with. After losing my grandma my Pa was on a pretty steady decline, culminating in dementia and what I can only describe as the living end of haunting our own homes. Where we become ghosts within ourselves. We sold their house and my parents are in the slow process of getting theirs ready ahead of relocating to where we are in the near future but the reality of 30+ years of birth, life, death, and everything in between these two essentially shared homes (grandma and ours within miles of each other) really are just ghosts for those of us who called those houses homes. Thank you, Sam. I'll obviously be OK but thank you for helping to put words to this deep personal unease and bittersweet life changes I've been feeling.
