🚽 You see, I used to have an identity crisis for as long as I can remember.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I set myself to be defined as someone who likes this or that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I set myself to take as much effort to look and sound a certain way.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I set myself to make sure that I am versatile.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I shift very easily. I can be a girly-girl one day, and then a tomboy the next. A dancer one day, and then a singer or a guitarist the next. A lazy happy-go-lucky person one day, and then a very diligent pursuant the next. A toughy and dominant knight-in-shining-armour one day, and then a feeble and submissive damsel-in-distress the next.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But then I've gone to a point where I've gotten very tired. Because, what's the point?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I mean, I enjoy being all those sides. They're still all me. But it makes me feel that depending on who is watching, I tend to switch auras easily. So in that, I realized:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't have to rely on how people perceive me to be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't have to be another person but myself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't have to pretend to be someone I do not even know.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't have to be anything other than what I've always been and will be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So here's why I am posting my own capture of a "Comfort Room".
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here where we can unapologetically be who we really are.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here where we can be stripped off naked.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here where all that matters is the beautiful image of a person in the mirror who struggled and fought with you through your journey.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here where we don't have to mind what other people say.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here where we cry silently when we don't want anyone to hear.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here where we aren't judged to the tiniest bit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here where we take a load off of our crap in life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here where we come off clean after being dirty for a while.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here where we are most comfortable about ourselves.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel like it deserves all the right to be called a "Comfort Room" don't you think so? I mean, it indeed is a place of comfort if you think about it - and literally and figuratively at that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So just be you! You're BE-YOU-TIFUL!
🍽 Surprisingly, I've been enjoying my time in the kitchen a lot.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I go to the market myself to buy the ingredients for what I want to make, for example.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And then I also try to keep what I make as healthy and as close to natural as possible.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For how many months now, I even kept making Kimchi continuously in hopes of perfecting the authentic taste.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I didn't know it would cause me so much pleasure to be serving good food and sumptuous meals for people I love and appreciate.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What seemed to be such a chore when I was younger are now what helps make me feel fulfilled.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In a sense, it makes me think that, of all the things I ever want to be, being a homemaker is probably one of my main purposes in life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And if so, I swear I'm going to be so damn good at it!
