You remind me of childhood especially in that single room apartment that doesn't just feel empty because it is actually empty.
I was always ashamed to let my friends in but they always come around happily not because of the empty space but because of the home we made as a family out of the small space.
As much as I would love my space to look awesome, I want it to carry more of a happy feeling for the dwellers and that can only be done when there is love within.
I wish you the best in life and regardless of how far you think the journey is, I wish you happiness all through.
My friends also never complained about anything. Now they say that my house was much more peaceful to them and they felt good coming around and never noticed what we had and not.
It's not the house but the people of the house. So only building a house would not make our dream come true but we need to make a good family to feel it.
