With Destruction… There is creation
okay, so as everyone knows, we were all hit by that dreadful and stupid hurricane… honestly, i hate hurricanes but kinda like them hahaha. well anyways, I have been begging my parents for the LONGEST time to let me re-do my room. I want new everything! new curtains, new color, new florr, new ceiling…. new everything! seriously! My parents were always like “if its not a need, there is no need to do it.” so of couse my room is completely fine… or well it was until the hurricane hit. So, i was all excited (and i hate to admit it and i feel really wrong for feeling this way) but i was excited that we might lose our house… BUT!!!!!! im really not a bad person for being excited about that. You see…. i live in the middle of no where. ask elisabeth, she knows, and i have always wanted to live in baton rouge, but wont because my family always wants a big yard with room to run around and ave a loud party without the neighbors hearing. (You can have world war three over here and no one would really notice)
well anyways, so after the hurricane hit, EVERYTHING on our property was destroyed… except our house. talk about irony. (btw, i had a barn, a shop, and two sheds and they were all gone when we returned home) so we get home and we clean for about a week or two and the insurance company finally took a look at our house (everyone wanted it condemned because we all wanted to either move or start over) unfortunatly that didnt happen. but we did gt reimbursed for a lot of the stuff that was destroyed in and on our home. my room was a total wreck when we got home. our roof was torn off and a lot of water had gotten into our house. so now we are replacing a lot of things and redecorating. so now i have the option of re-doing my entire room.
One dilemma…. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM GOING TO DO WITH MY ROOM! i want it to be my sanctuary. soemwhere i can go and relax and forget the world and be myself. somewhere that its easy to fall alseep. some peopel were like “YOU SHOULD PAINT IT SOME LOUD COLOR!!! IT WOULD TOTALLY MATCH YOUR PERSONALITY!” the thing is, i want it to match what i think would feel relaxing…. honestly, being me is a hard job and even i get tired of myself sometimes. I just want a place to feel welcome and have this warm sense of……. well warmth. I go tomorrow to look at colors of paint. IM EXCITED! What i do want to do though is have a BIG picture of all of my friends on my wall, past and present. They are the ones that have shaped me to who i am and who i shall be. and i also want a small pink ribbon painted on the bottom corner of a wall somewhere. My grandmother was one of the most loving people i know and hving that trhere would really have me feel that i have her with me.
Hello Greg.
I’m very sorry about your house/property. I had no idea how much damage y’all had. I hope everything turns out okay. On the other hand, I am completely jealous that you have a bunch of land to live on. I’ve always wanted to live on a big property. But then again, I can see how it would be inconvenient to live so far away from everything…As far as your room goes, I know exactly what you mean. When I redid my room a couple of years ago, I had the option of making it fun or making it relaxing. I actually decided to do both. I painted the walls a soothing blue and got all the basics of my room to be pretty and calm. But then I added in extra things that make it fun, like cool bookends and fun stuff on my desk. If you do this, I don’t think you have to compromise your awesomely fun personality for relaxation’s sake.
