Hello, my darling readers,
When I move in to my flat after a long time in which I couldn't afford to live on my own, I felt so much gratitude. I had intimacy after many years in which I had to live with my close family in a smaller flat than mine.
I felt so grateful for having personal space that I did not care that the flat was very old and it had not been renovated since it was built. It did not matter its old appearance or the furniture which was a bit broken. My flat for me was heaven.
I had personal space and after work I could do what I pleased. I wrote my first book in the first year after I move there. It was as quiet as I wanted. I watched which movies I wanted. I listen to my kind of music. I could finally have a pet. I had a safe place to gather all my things and know that no one would go through them without my permission. I could go out and come back without any of my family member giving me the evil eye for bothering them. I could do as I wanted and it was heaven for me.
A few years later I renovated it but it was not all to my taste. And I also kept a lot of old furniture, the one which was not broken, but I did not restore it. While I renovated I trained to see the mistakes the builders were making. And in that process I lost the gratitude I had for having my own place.
So I have a new renovated apartment and no gratitude for it. It is so easy to become as discontent as the most of the people and complain a lot all the time. I will change that. It is always good to have gratitude especially for something I wanted for so long.
Have a great day or night and God bless!
