The joy of living on your own, part 2

19 Mar

You can also create the only place in the world where everything conforms to your ideals – where all things are your deciding.

You can create the place where you do for yourself the things you usually do for other people. Cook yourself a nice meal, listen to stories about your day, watch a movie.

You can create the place where everything you do is right – everything you do is important, and proves you are a person of great esteem.

You can create the place where your emotions are renewed just by walking in the door. The ambience can be entirely under your control.

You can create the place where you get to think about and explore every idea you have ever had.

You can create the place where, no matter what happens in the outside world, you know you are safe when you come home.

You can create the place where you influence every aspect of the place. And you also acknowledge its influence on you.

Some of these will not strike you as important.
They are not for you.
Which one resonates?
Some of these will overwhelm you.
Forget them.
Which one inspires and energizes you?

About jhorna

Jhorna's personal hobbies include translating ethnic slurs into foreign languages, writing award-winning operas, and cooking thirty minute brownies in twenty minutes. On most weekends - to let off steam - she has been participating in full-contact origami, which is not as intuitive as it might seem. After growing up a naked child in the mountains of Colorado, she moved to the heart of Bohemia in the Czech Republic and learned to say 'you resemble a hedgehog'* in Czech. Later in life she spent a year trying to avoid being run over by rickshaws in Dhaka, Bangladesh. An avid performer, she prefers to only participate in dances that defy the laws of physics. She is very interested in incorporating improvised movement into a structured dance form and am especially intriguied by the various ways in which one can 'walk the edge' of dance. That's because, some days, she takes an envelope out of the box and she PUSHES IT. (*Vypadas jako jezek.)
