What is home? Home is the place where you feel most safe and comfortable. It welcomes you when the world has defeated you. Whatever happens, it opens its arms and wraps you with it until you fall asleep. Home is like a lullaby. Home is where your heart is.

I am in my childhood home now for Christmas. But somehow it’s no longer my home. It no longer comforts me. It’s a bit stifling now, to be honest. It’s nice to go back to it but I feel boxed in. Like it doesn’t allow me to grow up.

I just realized that the home I have now, that small old apartment, is home. With all the quirks that come with an old building, the happy and sad memories, the cats, my soft bed…it sings me to sleep. It welcomes my tired heart. It envelopes me. It is mine.

Changes

Posted on by

It has been months since I last logged in here. So many life-changing events happened all at the same time. All I could do was to go with the flow and never look back. No turning back.

Related to that was my hunt for a liveable apartment near my girls’ school. It was a bit rundown but it had potential. When the landlady fixed it up, it looked promising.

I had requested a light blue paint for the closets. Stupid me, I forgot to give them a sample of the shade I wanted. Now I ended up with a Tiffany egg blue.

Now it is looking more like a home now, little by little.

My workstation is now literally next to my bed.

I have to have better cable management.

The living area looks empty but over time it would look much better. I am not in a hurry to fill it up. I will take my time.

My plan is to fill my home with lots of art.

My sister has promised me a number of paintings to hang on my wall. I am also having this framed to hang in my dining area.

The kitchen is messy. I always envied the minimalist kitchens i always see in Roomclip. I don’t know what to do with mine to achieve that.

I still lack wall clocks.

I bought myself a Bosch drill and some drill bits. I will build my DIY kit slowly over time.

Like I am rebuilding my life. Slowly. I have a lifetime to do that.
