It’s the simple things that always give you the most pleasure. The empty place where the walls are staring right back at you and anything you say echoes back but at the same time the heart is so full of joy. Boxes all around and yet all I have is a smile on the face. It’s moments like this which make everything worth living for. It’s been a few days we moved into our new abode and all I see is boxes around me waiting to be opened. I’m moving at a snail’s pace. It’s like I’m hit by a lightening. I have no reason to rush into opening each and every box right now. I want to savor this moment of being here. The emptiness of the home but still so full. The smell of fresh paint on the walls. The fluffiness of the new carpet which hasn’t been walked upon. The birds chirping outside and the echoes of the people chattering bouncing right off the walls. If this isn’t blissful then what is?!
They say buying a home is the most important tick on the bucket list. And who am I to deny that. But right now it certainly doesn’t feel like that. Maybe in time I’d be more at ease and have time to think and breathe. Right now I am just too busy checking out the neighbors and what they are upto. It’s oddly satisfying to peek out of your window into your neighbor’s backyard and check out their activities. And while I say that I’d like to assure I mean no harm. It’s the curiosity that makes you do stuff. And maybe they’d be doing exactly that when I’m not looking. Who knows?
As much as I’m in awe of this neighborhood, there is one thing that disturbs me however. It’s the silence which sometimes gets a tad over bearing. It’s as if they’ve been hit by a thunderstorm or their voices have been taken away. Some people would probably love this but I’m freaking out. Will need some more time to settle in and enjoy the tranquility. Not everyday you can claim to be in peace and solitude so let me enjoy while this lasts.
