Yeah, I've decided I'll keep my current rental for now and treat it like glorified storage I can live in and don't need to pack everything to fit into. As cathartic as it would've been to leave Vic free from the past in some ways, I think I would've been putting too much stress on myself to pack everything, find storage, movers, rehome my indoor plants, then come back and crash at a friend's place until I find another place, move again... I need to cut myself some slack.

I'll try other ways of motivating myself to move somewhere better for my psyche rather than falling into a rut when I get back

Yeah that sounds like a wise plan
