Sold

The house where I grew up to become the freak I am today are now sold.

SOLD: My childhood home.

My mother is moving out and selling the house I learnt to walk and where I lived my first 18 years of my life. It was and always be my real home. It is both sad and with great joy to see the house up for sale. After all it holds over 30 years of my familys history, but it will be good for my mum to move somewhere more central. It defintly was a good house for me.

For Sale
