I live in a big old house alone full of bad memories, should I move out?

[Anonymous]

30 years of bad memories. Abuse, death, a stolen childhood, a nightmare. Sure, there are a few "good" moments here and there, and I try my best to revive the space in the last 4 years, to turn the negative into positive. But I don't think it's working. Should I move out? What would you do? Is my procrastination problem due to living in the same physical environment that stunted my growth to begin with? It's lonely and depressing.

It’s just a house… 4 outer wall with windows. You keep the bad memories alive. If you moved out you would find new things to bring back the bad memories.
The trick is to learn how to put the past behind you. Make new happy memories and forget the bad. As a species we dwell too much in the past. Learn from the past and then move forward. I know what I am saying isn’t easy but if you can do this it’ll make your life so much better.
For me, I think of it like this… is it something I can change? If the answer is no I move on quickly… if yes then I might dwell on it to make it better.
Don’t sell the house because of bad memories, think about the good memories and make new good memories.

If it's mostly bad memories to you maybe sell the place. I am in a similar situation with a property I grew up on. I can't decide if I want to keep it for the few good memories or if I will sell it because they were mostly bad.
