A few days after my ex and I split, I looked at my dogs who hadn't been allowed on the beds. I immediately started letting them sleep in the bed with me. It was one of those moments where I realized how wonderfully free I was.
So lately it hit me: If I want to move my amplifiers and guitars and set them up in the living room, there's no one to disagree. I spend most of my time there.
Why didn't I do this sooner? Conditioning: amps belong in my cramped music room, not in the living room. Stupidity: it took me two years to realize that I can move my gear to the living room.
