Finally Home........


 

Imagine you are living in a lovely place, simply full of joy and peace. A place that calm you down after a lot of drama through out your day. People tend to enjoy going to a cafe, resort, or hostel for their short vacation; I admit that I am one of them as well. I love to surround myself in a peaceful shelter, simply quiet with greenery from the outside. 

In Mid 2021, I and my fiance decided to have a house built back in the village, the hometown where I grew up. No doubt, I love to do things differently, I have things planned ahead of time, and follow my imagination. I started to lay down my idea and thought and picturing it; none of my people like the idea at the first time. Let's be a bit selfish here, or I would say "Trust me, you'd love it once it's done!" Applying my imagination to build the whole house actually took tons of energy to convince people who help decide, especially parents :D

 


Later on, I am glad that the decision of the design has been made to a point that makes everyone happy. Commonly, I just need a comfortable place to store my stuff once I'm away from the city, to sleep safely during the occasion of wind & storm, and to embrace the energy of working from home once in a while. We all own a style of living, spice things up, and make ourselves a delightful person from where we belong.

I have been living in a studio-rented room in Phnom Penh for almost nine years since I first came to the college in the city. A dream house to me doesn't have to be large or fancy furnishing; as long as the color alights with who you are and of course, each spot purposely designed to serve your need, that's all I care about. I choose to expose the interior design to the outsider by seeing through the clear glass wall and warm white light. The result finally satisfied everyone; we moved in early March 2022 accompanied by a traditional housewarming ceremony.

 


I am grateful for the strong commitment of support from my family and my future one to make it happen. It might be a baby step for others, but it's a big deal to me to get it right. It's feeling good to finally say to myself, "Welcome Home :D". So proud to finally get it set on the ground like once said, "Home, the spot of earth supremely blest, A dearer, sweeter spot, than all the rest" by Robert Montgomery.

 


Extra decoration on the way including those wonderful frames full of paintings, plants and other object to comfort the living. Life is full of excitement, let's have a shelter here and you are free to go see the world knowing you always have a home waiting for you <3 . Let's see what's next and share with me what your dream home looks like!

I paused - What have happened to me?

  In the past, I taught myself to live as a fast-burning candle. It took a lot of effort to inspire myself of limitless, unstoppable, hustling, keep pushing, using time effectively bla-bla-bla. In a sudden, until something happened to me mentally, the illness that you can't witness the evidence from all the scanning or physical proof. I used to be super healthy, strong, and independent; I was not an athlete but at least I could do half marathon and other physical fitness which allow me to stay fit and healthy. I have heard a lot of times that your intellectual issue could badly affect your everything, but I haven't paid enough attention to the detail. I might live healthy physically, including my diet and daily fitness, but I was too hard on myself, mentally. I learn to say No to little things, but at some points still, accept the bigger project that possibly contributes a larger impact.   I'm not trying to slow you down from what you are currently holding right now, but on

Fail early!

I personally was taught to avoid making mistakes for almost my entire life and recognized it as the most terrifying thing. It is good somehow, but I learned that scare of making different in life is losing so much great opportunities you can think of. I am the type of person who might get the lowest score in terms of taking the risk because I took things seriously and from time to time is cautious. Later on, I gave myself more carefree space for adventure to try new things and making manageable mistakes along the journey. As my previous blog mention that I was not socialized enough in my teenage life where I limit my networking and hesitation to do things that I was capable of. Speaking of which, I was afraid of failing, mocking, judging, and every other things. Up until now, the experiences taught me the question "What if?". Asking myself this question helps me reflect on my past and current situation to decide what the next direction of life should look like.    I am gratef
