Building blocks for my house!
I like to make a list of things for my new home. I told my mum to keep my Legos, so that I could have them in my home to make it more personalized. I spotted some vintage glassware at an old sundry shop in my hometown and imagined how it would fit with the rest of my furniture. I got myself three old tomes of Dostoevsky, Tolstoy and Chekhov at a jumble sale thinking that they would make nice bookends on wall-mounted shelves.
Oh yeah, I buy stuff for my new home too.
… The thing is I haven’t got my own place yet. :P
Someone told me that I see life in broad strokes, in big pictures. I think I do. I kinda see where I want to be in 5 years and I work towards achieving that, even in little ways such as buying stuff for my imagined home. Of course a more practical way to achieve that is to work towards moving up the salary scale, but that’s a given, no? Some might call me a dreamer, an idealist or even a fatal optimist. :P But I believe it is little things like these that helps us move closer towards our goals and closer towards fulfilling our dreams. :)
and I wonder…
