It's not always obvious the moment your space stops feeling right for you. It's not like the roof caves in (hopefully). It's a slow burn. A window that won't close, the light switch you have to fiddle with, the shower that fogs up even with the window open. Little annoyances, really. But they pile up.

Even if the floor still squeaks. That's just character.
