Nothing silly about getting attached to your place/
They're still at it and I can hear each hit clearly, since it's really close to my window. And each hit hurts.
I'm the type of person who connects memories and feelings with objects and who grieves about the loss, if the connection is strong enough. I loved the pilars; I grew up with them. They were involved in countless games when I was a child. You could casusally sit on them or savely stand on them and have the highest (outside) view of our street. And they just looked awesome.
Now they are beeing taken away. Just like that and no warning given. I was not even asked what my oppinion about the matter was.
It's not like this is a choice that's not really a choice at all, like felling a loved tree because it's old and could possibly fall over.
I am crying as I write this.
This probably seems unreasonably silly to everyone else. 'Don't be silly.People have much bigger problems. You too, you have other things to worry about and those are actually worrysome. It's just a slight change in design, not the end of the world, right?' But actually, to me it kinda is.
