We are constantly repairing and redecorating ourselves and our homes. We think about the color schemes of our home or what furniture we want to bring in. We think about what paint colors will go best with our new additions. We often think of what the finish looks like on our walls. We think about what our kids’ new toys will be like. We think about what our friends’ new furniture will look like.
Reparative is a process of healing yourself and your home. It’s a process that helps you let go of the old and the unappealing. Reparative is an approach to your home that helps you understand how your home has come to be in the first place. It helps you see how your home can change to more appealing, more inviting, and more fun.
The thing I find most interesting about Reparative is that it works for us. The fact that you can’t see yourself being repaired in a reparative way (as you can) is a sign that you’re on autopilot. But if you look at your current home, you know that you actually have been repaired.
In the beginning, I was a house-owner who never got through to the point where I could have a house to myself. But I got a house and I moved in. I remember that time. In fact, I don’t remember what happened to the house once I moved in. There was a lot of it.
Reparative is that youre not paying attention to what is happening to you. It’s not about who youre being repaired in, it’s just that the first time you look at your current home, you really can’t see yourself being repaired.
We live in a house whose roof is leaking. We have the roof repaired but its still leaking. Reparative is when you get a home and its not about who youre being repaired in. It’s about how long youve been paying the rent and what youve been paying for. And if youve been paying the rent for a long time, then you have to pay more attention to your living space.
If youre on a zombie apocalypse, youre not on a zombie apocalypse. Youre on a zombie apocalypse. Youhave to pay more attention to the living space.
This is how I feel when I’m on the couch watching television and I’m watching reruns of “Charmed.” I get so wrapped up in the show that I forget about the apartment I’m in. It’s like I’m asleep in my apartment and I’m watching reruns of “Charmed.” I need to get in my apartment and take care of the problems.
This is what I actually mean. I don’t really care where my apartment is. I only care about the things in it. I need to get it and take care of whatever’s in it. That’s what I mean.
You are in your apartment, sitting on your couch watching reruns of Charmed, and you start talking about how you need to take care of your apartment. You don’t realize you are talking to me.
