All I want is a simple and minimalist life, with a simple and minimalist home having a small kitchen where I can cook, create new recipes, and do the culinary art even at 2am without any fear, a garden where I can look after my plants and daisies, a roof garden with a side corner dedicated to the family sittings in summer afternoons or winter evenings, spring mornings or autumnal noons, a room with a glass window having a window seat to sit, light candles, read books, and enjoy nature when the rain pours and trees dance, a balcony to be grateful for every sunrise and morning breeze, or to stargaze and watch the moon shine bright, a small library instead of the tv lounge for my friends, and a secret passageway to a secret attic where I can create art, stitch my clothes, write my thoughts, diy vintage and tea or coffee stained papers, paint my loafers, make aesthetic candles, tea mugs, plant pots, lanterns, lampshades, and all the potteries to decorate my house. And then all I want is to share this life with a soul having the same vibes.
I don't wanna indulge in any hatred and social dramas, and what the relatives and other people are gonna say. I don't wanna entertain anything and anyone that takes a heavy toll on my happiness and mental health. All I want is to be able to love, and to be able to laugh with the people I love, even if it's 3 AM in the morning and we are sharing all the silly, dark or bright moments from our childhood to this particular time. All I want is to organize random weekend picnics and movie nights in my garden. All I want is to be able to enjoy my coffee on a rainy day without the academic or business worries. All I want is to cherish this life, share this kindness with people, and be grateful for all this. All I want is to be able to love myself enough to do this.
