Safe space
I’ve never really fantasized about buying myself my own place. Until today.
An edgy page on Facebook posted about how a lot of adult men choose to not buy bed frames for their mattresses.
I thought, me, too. I don’t think an elevated sleeping area is necessary. Less risk of dropping your phone. Easier for an alcoholic.
Everything will be white in my apartment. White sheets, a huge white body pillow, white comforter, white fleece blanket. If there’s gonna be some color, it’ll be in the minimal furniture. Touches of purple, of course. A nice digital clock on the wall that also tells the temperature and situation outside.
For lighting, I’d love that type that’s sorta hidden along the sides of the ceiling. It would have dimming settings. In the morning I won’t need them though, because if my place would have a non-negotiable, it would be floor to ceiling windows. So I’m thinking maybe Baguio would be the most ideal place to find a good spot. I’m also gonna have to make sure I buy that Jimny first then.
My bathing area will be huge. It’s just gonna be one big room, still all white, with a modest bath tub, a changing area slash closet that’s fully carpeted. A big mirror.
I won’t own a television. I’d buy a projector. Hence the main wall in the living area would be bare. At night my place will be a miniature cinema.
Another wall will be fully dedicated to a shelf for books and memorabilia.
A bar area is also a non-negotiable. Steady supply of vodka, tonic, red wine.
I’ll also have a nice marble kitchen top. It’ll have multiple purposes. Study area, work area, cooking area, eating area, sex area. I’ll disinfect it everyday after each activity, of course.
I’m not sure if I’ll keep a plant. Huge chance of it dying and uglying the place up.
The third non-negotiable will be an adopted cat. Preferably also white, but I won’t discriminate. I’ll know I want it when I see it.
I don’t think I’d want a separate room for my mattress-with-no-frame. I’d love my place to be just this one open space.
Oh but I’d love a balcony too. Or a whole roof! So maybe a stairway that would lead to another open space. My place would be a bungalow with modest everything but an expensive bathing srea, with a rooftop. Oh yes. A roof it is. I can put up a table there as well. Like the kitchen top, it’ll be for various activities.
This is actually exciting. My Taurus nature is loving all of this. I will never be stagnant and I’ll never settle, but this place would be cool. A safe, open space for me. Other humans are allowed to enter, but 80% of the time, this will be my sanctuary. My safe space.
