Meet My New Apartment
A girl, growing up in a different culture; I was always thrilled to be able to move out and live away from the family. I knew I would need to work very hard to have my own space. I have always imagined how I was going to decorate my own house, paint it different colors and change its style accordingly. I have been always a fan of kitchen tools and decorations and I wanted my own kitchen that I can enjoy cooking in. I wanted a quite large beige dining table so I can invite my friends over for lunch or dinner. My dream is finally a reality!
I recently was able to move out and be independent with my own free space. I was very worried about how to start on our own at first; financial and procedural wise. I did not know what to do, what to buy, where to find furniture, and how much it will cost. I started to buy my furniture little by little. I am currently looking for an affordable beige dining set to put in my living room beside a big and comfy gray or beige couch to create the apartment I have always dreamed of. The apartment I moved in is simple with a reasonable space that is perfect for me, and most importantly, it is mine to make it my home. It has three bedrooms and a living room which is perfect for me and my sister who moved out with me. We bought the beds, two small coffee tables, a beige carpet, and drawers. Luckily, the closets are part of the bedrooms so we did not have to buy that. I buy something every week or so; a furniture piece or a kitchen tool.
By now, I am just getting to know the apartment and get used to it; to the sound the doors make when I open them, to the lights of my bedroom when I am up at night doing school work, and to the friendly noise I hear everyday coming from outside as my neighbors do their daily activities. Some days I am off from work, I prefer to stay in my apartment; I could feel my heart getting warmer in a sense of safety and accomplishment. I am making it my home little by little and I get excited every time I come back from work knowing that my home is waiting for me.
