You might be thinking “Well, it’s not too late to move back to tifton.” This is a big mistake. It’s still too early to return. At this point, your home’s exterior is covered in a shell of paint, and you are still living in the house.

As it turns out, the shell is a little off-white and is actually quite beautiful. But it’s also quite porous. As you move back into the house, the paint will start to chip away at the shell and your home will start to feel different. You’ll notice a lot of paint on your floors and walls that are now cracked and peeling.

You should try and return to the house. But be prepared that it may not be the same house. Paint is cheap. And you have to move back and forth between rooms to keep it clean, and the weather will be changing. If you move back to the house, its paint will start to chip away at the shell, and eventually you’ll find yourself in that same position.
