Fresh Start

If you need to change emotionally and are struggling to do so, why don’t you change your surroundings?

Maybe redecorate your home, take a few paintings off the wall or rearrange your furniture, move that vase, that mirror, that pillow or whatever.

Just make it your own or yours and someone else’s ?

Make everything fit your soul and remove the pieces of the past.

I changed my room and moved my furnitures weekly as a kid. It didn't really help. I was still abused. Still the weird kid because I dissociated from reality.

But as adult adding a new shower curtain and new scents of shower gels and decorate in the shower helped me not be triggered in the shower where I was abused once.

I also decorated my bedroom full of life quotes and created my own safe bubble of colours and fabrics.

It's like a patch on a broken leg. It won't heal the leg but it feels good with a little comfort.
