Dear Blog,
As promised in the previous blog, I’ve come back to fill you up with more that’s happening in my life.
I BOOKED MY OWN HOUSE.
Even as I write those words, a part of me is still trying to believe them. I booked. My own. House.
It feels too big to hold, too full of emotion to wrap up in a sentence. It’s a mix of disbelief and joy, a quiet pride laced with nervous energy. I’m overwhelmed—in the best, most terrifying way possible.
The booking happened on the 29th of June 2025. It was a quiet step on the outside some documents, a signature, a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. But inside, it felt like a shift. Something clicked. A door opened into a version of life I’ve only ever seen from a distance.
This house isn’t just four walls and a ceiling.
It’s the feeling of taking control.
Of saying, “This one’s for me.”
It’s a promise to myself that I will build something that reflects who I am and who I’m becoming.
And that’s what makes this both beautiful and terrifying. I don’t have possession yet, and I know the real work begins once I do. The interiors, the decisions, the mood boards in my head trying to translate into real furniture, colours, lights, and warmth. It’s a lot. It honestly scares me sometimes. There are moments when I wonder—will I know how to create a space that actually feels like mine?
But even through that anxiety, there’s a deep joy humming underneath. Because this is something I’ve always dreamed of. I used to imagine the sunlit windows. Cushions that never match. The sound of rain tapping on glass while I read a book in silence. And the fairy lights, the ones I’ll leave on all year, not for aesthetics or Instagram, but because they make me feel like I’m home. Like I’m safe. Like I belong.
This space will carry pieces of me. My moods, my quiet, my chaos, my joy. And for the first time, I get to shape it from scratch. I get to decide how it will feel. I get to grow into it, one corner at a time.
So here I’m grateful, scared, excited, and unbelievably happy.
I did it.
Dear Blog, I’ll come back to you once I’ve got the keys and the real journey begins.
The walls are still waiting for stories. I can’t wait to create them.
With all my heart,
Monideepa
