Moving Me, Moving Mine

I've been living in my studio since August. Although I am anticipating to finally live with a roommate, another human being to talk to, I know later on I will miss living alone. These naked, off-white, walls clothed by black activists, musicians, Hip Hoppers, 2006 SASC SI, Let's Rise, Tiffany Lin's drawing of weed creature, and a poster of Starry Night right above my desk. I will truly miss seeing these pictures in the same order when I look circularly around the room during homework/reading breaks. They will have a new home soon. I will have a new home soon.

So, this Sunday I'll be moving into Juanito's place. I am going to be living in the living room. My parents, being the Feng Shui experts they are, hopefully will help me arrange the furniture. As a kid, I used to be really into Feng Shui. I read a lot on it. I do not believe the spiritual aspect of it, but I do believe the psychological and practicality of it--placement is everything. I recalled not being able to sleep when my bed, while myself was in it, facing the door. And another time when a mirror was facing my bed, I couldn't sleep as well. As a kid, i researched on those things and I found out that placing a bed in front of a mirror or a door is bad--the flow energy was not circulating well in the room, but for me, i felt it was more of a psychological thing. I kept on looking to the door to see who was walking towards me. I kept on looking to the mirror that held my dark reflection. That shit was creepy.

So, I'll be living in the living room, that will be my room, but it will still remain the living room. I can't wait to make the room up. I can't wait to finally cook in a kitchen, saving money on food, feeling independent and self-sufficient. I can't wait to install the disco ball on the ceiling. I can't wait to finally be able to blast music loudly on weekends without suite mates complaining.

Say good bye to the crazy thoughts I had confined in these four corners of this room. Say good bye to full-privacy. Say hello to a new start and eventually, new problems (it's inevitable). To be real.
