Initially I’m not really convinced to take it but when you
freely decided to accept things you did not want at first, eventually you will
learn to love it. This is the testimony
that love can be learned. If there is
really nothing someone else forced you, things can be learned because you
somehow preferred it, though was not love at first sight but at least you
accepted it without force. I have proven this from what I’ve been through.
Flashback before this, I always wanted to live in a dream
house that I carefully sketched. A villa
house in a spacious porch, painted in light pastel colors with wide garden at
the back, a stylish design with modern furniture and fixtures. I was daydreaming it since I constructed it
in my papers and notebooks during high school until collage. From time to time I made changes in the
living room, dining area, kitchen, bed room and bathroom until perfection. I think it’s almost, if not all, everybody’s utmost
goal in life – to live in their dream house.
Landing in a job, we are all hyper to work hard in pursuing
this dream but sometimes things we wanted so much are not always turning into
our hands. The times are moving on until
we feel it is not that as easy as what we thought. Until we made some modifications in our
plans, that’s when I realized to change my dream house nearest to its
probability. During my late 20’s until
mid 30’s, I started to like a cosy house in an open lawn with small atrium
which is what I like most in a house, which I changed later when I was in my
40’s into a townhouse or a small house in a wide backyard like garden. If despite these downgrading changes the dream
house is still elusive, living in a small own house will be enough.
This is what happened to me.
When I cannot get the dream houses that I wanted, it forced me to get
the least that is near to my standards.
I acquired a small size low-cost townhouse type near in my
hometown. I have so much to undergo
before taking this. From the beginning,
I’ve been looking somewhere but simply nothing is really matching my searchings
– the budget, the place, the design.
Until this one came to me that I am not supposed to choose because at
time it came, I am more attracted to other one that is an innovative urban
modern design and art deco design inspired like flat roof, multi corners and
glass walls but the place is farther. It’s
actually smaller than what I want but it’s bigger than what I acquired. But I need to decide, so I meet the halfway
for each and the outcome, I chose the townhouse nearer to my childhood home and
family.
Although not first choice but it is somehow that I wanted and
besides, as soon as I have it means an investment right away. I admit I didn’t like it at first but while
it takes long, I am learning to love it and it’s in here where I started to
love it. Now, I am dreaming how beautify
this tiny ideal home. If by the time I
will stay for good in my homeland and I still love this tiny dream house, then
I’ll stay here. But I still want the
garden home that I planned as my retiring home, and if can have it when I get
retired, then I will encash this investment and get what I truly want.
