Living in my own space

A page I took out of my journal

Living in my own space is my sanity, I allow no one to come
into that space. I have learned over the years, the minute you
invite someone in you lose control over that space. When you

open that door people bring along with them judgement, criticism,

unwelcome advice, and then your space becomes contaminated

by other's. I no longer allow anyone to come into my space, if I 

need to deal with anyone, I step outside my space and deal with

them accordingly.

 

It's called my own space for a reason and that is to have me time,

its where I think, create, make decisions and most of all relax. If

you don't have a space for yourself then you will always have

traffic coming in and out of your life. My space is reserved for me

to get away from the so-called "real world", it my way of keeping my

sanity in check. I don't make my life all about me, but I do spend

a great deal of time in my own space.

 

Living in my own space I don't have to please or appease anyone,

I can shut the outside world down and concentrate on the things

I need to do. I used to think that it was selfish having my own space,

but in reality it's healthy and theraputic. Being there has taugh me

a lot about myself, I can reflect on my problems and try to come up

with solutions to them. It's my element of meditation, thoughts and

prayer.

 

This simple space has broaden my horizon to directions of endless

accomplishments. When I'm up against a wall or backed up in a

cornor, this is the time where I make very good use of my space,

it gives me a place to escape to. My space is used to strengthen me,

it sometimes gets lonely in there, but when I need to deal with

someone I step outside of the box. I do have a very open mind to

all ideas, all things and all people, but my space is a home away

from home. I'm comfortable living in that space and a world that

belongs to me.
