In ten years' time, I want to live in a house with big windows. I want the house to be large enough to have a kitchen table with four chairs but not too roomy to ever feel the depth of my aloneness. Because I'll probably be alone. But I think aloneness won't be so all-consuming with windows that protect me from the world but still let me watch it.

These windows will frame my view of the world outside, trees swaying in the breeze, children playing, and neighbors going about their daily lives. I envision the sunlight pouring in during the golden hour, casting warm shadows on my wooden floor. In this space, I’ll create a sanctuary filled with warmth, light, and a sense of quiet solitude. I’ll brew my coffee each morning, savoring the rich aroma, and enjoy the simple pleasure of observing life unfold outside, a reminder that I am part of something greater, even if I stand apart.

I want a small garden, perhaps with herbs and flowers, where I can spend afternoons tending to the plants. The scent of rosemary and lavender will mingle in the air, a gentle invitation to step outside and connect with the earth. This garden will be a place of reflection, a reminder of the beauty of nurturing life, even in a solitary existence.

I hope to have a cozy reading nook by one of those big windows, a space filled with books—each one a world to escape into. I’ll dive into stories that transport me to distant lands and weave rich tapestries of experience. These narratives will be my companions, sparking conversations in my mind and filling the silence with imagined voices.

At night, I envision the soft glow of candlelight illuminating the kitchen table, where I might invite friends over occasionally. The laughter and chatter will echo against the walls, temporarily filling the emptiness with joy and connection. But even in those moments of togetherness, I know I’ll appreciate the solace of my home, the comfort of solitude that allows me to recharge and reflect.

In this future, I want to embrace my aloneness as a space for growth and self-discovery. The stillness of the house will be a canvas for my creativity—an opportunity to paint, write, or explore new hobbies. I’ll find joy in the little things, from cooking a hearty meal to watching the seasons change outside my window. Each day will be an invitation to engage with my thoughts, to find meaning in my experiences, and to cultivate a sense of fulfillment within myself.

In ten years’ time, I hope my house will be a testament to resilience, a haven where I can weather the storms of life while embracing the beauty of solitude. I will transform my aloneness into strength, crafting a life that is rich with possibility, illuminated by the light streaming through those big windows, and anchored in the profound connection I have with myself and the world beyond.
