My bedroom is a place where I always run to so that I can clear my head or release my emotions. I can remember getting into big arguements with my mom and everytime I would run to my room, jump on my bed and cry with my face buried in my pillow. If I have a lot on my mind, my room is takes me to a place that comforts me where I can clear my head and think over my problems. It is also a place where I feel free and comfortable. If you filmed me in my room and showed it to anyone, I would be so embarassed, but probably laugh over it. Whenever I'm in my room, I always turn on the radio and where there is music I am either singing or dancing.
I have only had my own bedroom for about 2 years but I still consider it my querencia. It's not a place I have had for a very long time but a place i can relax and take a deep breath and know I'm secure there. I will be moving to another house next month and though it isn't the same room, it will be somewhere I can go to, someplace that's mine. What makes this new room different from the one I live in now is that I get to design it and make it my own. Designing my own room will show my personality through it, which means I will be even more comfortable in my room.
I have a vision for my new room. If a friend were to walk in my room I would want them to feel welcomed and awakened. My walls will be a very pale pink with a darker pink for the trimmings. The queen size bed that I will soon own will have my rainbow colored comforter layed neatly over it. Soft, cloud-like pillows will be fluffed up against the back of my bed. I want anyone who sees my room to be impressed and enlightened. Being in a environment that expresses who you are makes it much more comfortable for you.
Everytime I enter my room I feel a sense of security and reassurance that I am safe. My room brings out the crazy and goofy side of me that nobody has seen before. It's a place where I can dream, think, be free and not care about anything thats happening around me. Not only is it my room but my sanctuary.

Hello Angela.
ReplyDeleteI think the place you picked is very interesting. Although, I think you can include more specific details. "Tell" not "Show"

Hey Angela,
ReplyDeleteThis rough draft is good. I can see why this is your Querencia. Your vision for what you want your new room to look like has some good details. For example, you put, "Soft, cloud-like pillows will be fluffed up against the back of my bed." I can tell just how soft you want the pillows to be. It makes me want to fall asleep on that kind of pillow.
I also agree with Alex, there are some specific details you could add and "Show" more then "Tell."
Other than that, this was good for your rough draft.
