Living out loud in the Carolinas

burn baby burn

digs magazine has an article about what happens to you when your house burns down. when i was in 5th grade i was living with my father and step-mother when our house burned down right after christmas. there’s nothing more pathetic than a melted christmas tree. i’m so paranoid now that our house will burn down. it’s just so devastating. there are just some things you could never replace. husband finds it odd that even with that fear firmly in place i insist on having scented candles lit everywhere. maybe it’s a control thing. like i can control a little candle the way i couldn’t control the fire that ruined my house.
