Last week, I went to my aunt's place as it was the long weekend and it has been long since I stepped out of the city to meet my relatives and that was one reason you got to three blogs in three consecutive days because I don't want to maintain inconsistency because of my other priorities; however blogging is also one of them.
The days I were at my aunt's place wasn't that fun because I felt restricted not to be confused with not being allowed to do anything, but I felt confined and restless. That was a good amount of time where I could have read a book or watched a movie but then I didn't feel like doing any of it during that time. Or rather should I say, when I was there. Also it was raining heavily and that certainly was one reason that dampened my enthusiasm or urge to do something fun and productive other than mindlessly scrolling through my phone knowing that there wasn't anything interesting.
I was worried that I couldn't return because of the rains and didn't have anything to work upon if in case I had to stay longer. The last time I stayed there longer was during the pandemic lockdown but I had all my belongings that I brought while returning from Bangalore and eventually got stuck for six months. I didn't want the same to happen, because I wouldn't have anything to do and my things aren't with me.
Fortunately, I was able to return as planned and as early because the delay can be subjected to the risk of heavy rains that can prevent the journey. The moment I reached the bus stop, I felt good and when I reached home, even better. It felt really good to be back home. I stay alone as part of my work but being in that space makes me feel more liberal unlike any other space.
I know Home is all about having people and family but for me, whichever space makes me feel liberal and comforting is home for me. It might not be a fully furnished home but I am happy that I am getting to do household chores by myself and taking care of things, and that is one thing I certainly want to do when I stay in a place of my own. It doesn't mean that I don't want people at all, but it all begins from you, and within you.
So I Am Glad To Be Back Home!
