I was just talking to this lovely nurse and was explaining that going outside makes me anxious because of the people and unfamiliar surroundings and she asked me what I like most about my home and what makes it safe for me. And I thought that would be interesting to ask here as well, if you're comfortable to say of course :)
I like a lot of things about my home. All my favourite possessions are there. It's peaceful and I know I'm always comfortable and happy there. And probably the best thing is it's in the countryside.
Not a lot I know but they are big things for me.
I like the way I decorated my room. I'm very into the log cabin in the woods aesthetic, so I had my floors paneled. I also got two kinds of wallpaper; one that looks like paneled wood, and another that looks like a faint forest canopy. I have two opposite walls in one, and the other two opposite in the other, one of the forest ones being where the window is. It creates this combined feeling of nature and solitude that's more comfortable to me than doing all of one or the other. I also like the cieling fan I added, the additional fan I've got on my window sill, and the mesh framing I'm about to have installed on my window, so that I can have the best airflow I can get shy of an air conditioning unit.
I also really like this stuffed shiba plushie my best friend got me, that sits on top of my record player right in front of me.
See feeling is a big part of what makes a room
In my old house all the windows had like a 3 inch indent where the brick went out and it made me feel somehow safer
