When I got home, I discovered that there was a shooting (two random people were violently attacked by a gang of ‘4-6 people’) in a parking lot near my house Sunday evening. That parking lot serves two of my favorite restaurants and my preferred bank.
Looking through my location history, there was a double digit probability of me being in that parking lot at the time of the shooting (I often go out to eat on Sunday evenings).
I wasn’t there because I was at LessOnline. Rationally, I consider this a ‘near miss’. The attackers appear to have intended to kill the victims, there wasn’t any relationship, and there was a similar incident on the other side of town later that day (no arrests yet, none are likely). If it had been me, and I had a firearm on me (unlikely, I have a permit but typically don’t carry because if I don’t feel safe going somewhere without a firearm, I’m probably not safe going there with one), I expect I would have lost the fight.
Now I have a problem, I live in the vicinity, in my childhood home (which I own) and have a lot of emotions about giving it up, but really, I should sell it and buy bitcoin (or something!) but I’m having trouble working through the emotions of being willing to let go, and honestly have probably held onto this ‘shitbox’ longer than I should have, I was asking for advice from close friends on figuring out how to let go before I went to LessOnline.
[Question] LessOnline saved my life. Now how do I let go of this house?
I was at LessOnline, it was awesome.

Does anyone have any advice?
