#9 Dream(s).

So, i´m still daydreaming about rooms and houses. It´s nice because i truly have some inspiration plans for my future house, maybe we get a real one next year. It´s only depending if we´re still living here during Phd or not. Hope so... :)

Toys in the Attic: i like the fact that attics aren´t necessary a place to keep old things inside it. On the contrary: they were built to be a room of one´s own!

This one reminds me living in a dollhouse...perfect!

Bedrooms and living rooms: they are my favourite places in a house.

Lots and lots of books and pictures on the wall...

Her apartment is totally inspirational...

Books again, all over the place...

This is a "just you and me" living room...

Since me and hubby are teachers and nerds, we love reading books and comic books.

Therefore, we really dream living in a small apartment where we can place all his collection of comics, my peanuts collection of comics, our toy collection (his DC and Marvel figures and my Snoopy collection figures), all over the place.

Books are part of our both professional e spiritual life. I really love places that keep books everywhere, because you never feel lonely when you have them by your side all the time.

A room of one´s own.

I dream about a house in many colours. I believe my life dreams about colours. All of them, actually.

Since I was 15 i dreamed about having my own place - space. A room just for myself, where i could feel apart from the world outside for some moments. But i keep wondering: why is it so difficult to "conquer" our own space? This is an old time question. Virgina Woolf once talked about it, in 1929, in her famous essay A Room of One´s Own: "(...)a woman must have money and a room of her own if she wants to write fiction".

What Virginia Woof said about it is basically that everybody (in this specific case, the women) needs independency and a space to do what they want.

My case does not stand to writing fiction, but about one having his/her own space, to do whatever they want. I feel that this quote, however, fits very well in every situation. Just change "writing fiction" to "do something you love, in a space you love".

More than never i realized how much home means one´s identity. It doesn´t matter where you live or where you are. Everyone needs a place-space to "feel at home". It gets even more important if you live in cold weather places, where you spend most of your time at home.

Well, lately, in my life, i´ve been changing places a lot. First, from my mother´s house to my boyfriend´s house; then, to our own apartment and then to our room (residence hall) in Porto.

Living in this room is quite nice, although is just a room and a bathroom (and it´s warm enough during the winter!). But, it´s basically a room, and, unfortunately, you are not allowed to make any changes in this space.

As we grow older, all we keep thinking is settling down. And i don´t mean only getting married and having babies, but most important: having our own space in some place.

These pics are truly an inspiration for the time when i finally get a real home:

This is a nice place to read a book, have a cup of hot coco, talk to friends or listen to music:

I see myself having sweet dreams in a room like this one:

I could spend days and days in this home office:

{we heart it!}

Oh, I could die for you.

weheartit.

Something inside the cards i know is right.
Don’t wanna live somebody elses life.
This is what i wanna be,
And this is what i give to you because i get it free
She smiles while i do my time.

I could die for you.
Oh this life I choose.

I’m here to be your only go-between,
To tell you of the sights this eyes have seen.
What I really wanna do is turn into the motion beauty that i can abuse.
You know that I use my senses just to.
You can see that.
It’s only everywhere.
I’d take it on and then.
I’d find a way to share.
Come along and go along with me.
Wonder with me, yo, it´s all for free.

I could die for you
What you wanna do
Oh this life I choose.

watch it here: I could die for you - red hot chili peppers

It is very nice when a whole album used to make you so sad and suddenly it doesn´t do it anymore.
