Storm is over

I had been "feeling" weird these past two weeks or so. But now the storm is over. The solution came last monday when I went to Zumba. I danced away all my aggression! I love the music. And the rhythm. And the smiling faces. And jumping dancing people.

I missed dancing. I've danced a lot before Tuwa. And now I'm taking it back in my life.

My friend Noc once said that around three years after childbirth - a mom's body gets naturally back into shape. And probably even the way of being/thinking.

My old self has probably come back. I have the need for routines, organisation, beautiful things to see, etcetera. I love cleanliness. And orderliness. And having a home with a character.

There was pause for those when I became a mom.

And recently, I was irritable because we never had time to hang curtains, decorate our place, etcetera. I mean it's almost three years since we moved to our home, and we haven't really achieved much when it comes to interior designing!

And suddenly, that fact irritated my eyes.

I talked to hubby about it. We couldn't move forward because we have so different tastes. he likes it simple, minimalistic and practical. I think of both the aesthetics and the practicality. Now we have reached a compromise.

Besides being a devoted mom, a bestfriend to my hubby, and a diligent worker, I also have to be a happy person. So I'll start thinking of pleasing myself too. And I can please myself by allowing myself to dance (Zumba), sing (karaoke) and slowly create a home that shouts with character.

Anyway, when I lived with my ex, he used to complain that our home didn't look like there were any people in it. To prove how I liked it clean, here's a picture of our dining room in Oman.
