I’m slightly claustrophobic so every time I get close to my outside door I get slightly nauseous. We have this slightly odd outside door that leads to an inner door on my floor. My room happens to be the only one on the floor with this abnormality. So that is what I chose to write this week’s blog prompt about, my oddity of an alcove.
I think these odd outer doors inhibit interaction along with causing my gag reflex to act out. People have to really make an effort to come and meet us, and there is just this unappealing nature to it. As I sit in my alcove I always wonder what life would be like if I didn’t have these obstacles. Our alcove does have its good points though. When people walk in it’s almost like we have a foyer, people can wipe their feet on our welcome mat, and people can’t just readily see into your room.
This space has no real function except to keep people away, and as an extra space to decorate during the holidays. It does make the space feel more homey, but it also causes extreme anxiety because I never know if someone is standing inside of the alcove waiting to pounce on me like a jaguar which is also the only hidden meaning this space could possibly have.
The final solution to my problem is a hammer and a hardhat. As Bob the Builder said “ Can we Build It”, Yes We Can!!!”
