“The Day I Moved My Living Room… and My Mind Too”

The House That Became a Box of Memories

I used to live with my boyfriend and my son. At the time, I felt that my life was normal, just living a happy life. Turns out, I couldn't be more wrong.

One day, my fairy tale suddenly turned into a full-on freak show, like Bruce Banner turned into The Hulk. The house didn't feel like a house anymore, all I could see was just a box of memories, each corner reminding me of what I've lost.

And then, God did me a favor by removing the blindfold from my eyes. It was a blessing in disguise. In that moment, a door opened for me to find myself again because, honestly, I’d been more lost than Little Red Riding Hood without a GPS in the woods.

Nights of Reflection

Alone at night, I’d sit on the couch, looking at the dining table, playing a movie in my mind. The same scene would repeat in my mind; the three of us, laughing, having dinner, being a family. The scene broke me into tears, every single time.

I didn’t throw anything away; instead, I started moving and shifting… in many ways. One night, after crying again in that same spot on the couch, I realized I had been stuck in a loop reliving the same emotional patterns. I wasn’t ready to erase everything, but I was ready to feel something different.

Small Shifts That Changed Everything

So, I made small changes. I moved the furniture, reoriented the couch and dining table, switched a few decorative pieces and artwork, learned new recipes, and even took different routes to work. No major renovations. No big purchases. Just small shifts. And somehow, that changed everything.

When the Setting Changes, the Thoughts Follow

It wasn’t instant healing. But that corner on the couch, which once felt like a trap, now felt different. The room had a new story, and so did I. The same home, the same objects, but a different emotional lens. Those small acts of movement and trying new things freed me from the weight of the past, little by little.

If you’re going through something similar, try making small changes in your space. You’re not erasing memories; you’re giving your heart a new layout to move through.

🧠 A Betrayal is a Trauma

When someone betrays you, it hurts the deepest part of you: your self-love. Healing doesn’t happen overnight, and often it requires the help of a specialist. I’m not a therapist, just sharing what in my life helped me move forward. I called it “Operation Liberation”: seeking help, shifting my energy, making space for the new.

Feng Shui taught me that when energy gets stuck, we get stuck too. Moving a piece of furniture, opening a window, changing a space… is also moving your life. Healing begins with one choice: choosing yourself. A small shift can start a new chapter... one step at a time.

With love,
