Buildings - seen from the half side
4 am. tired, not able to sleep, full of thoughts and empty on right decisions...
To create something, you first need to set its foundation and build it up stone by stone. Well, when you are just an amateur constructor, you may place some stones wrong from time to time. If you let them so and continuing on placing stone over stone, your construction will fall down soon due to wrong distributed weight. Well, if you care of your building, you will find a way to change this wrong stone - whether its form, its position, rotation and keep on building up a solid construction. You are the happiest person on earth when you finally found out that you have actually finished your building. Cool, here comes the best part: as many professional constructors will say: it is just the time you start to care of the building. You have to look after it, whether there are some repairs needed, if the roof is soaking, to clean the windows regularly... if you refuse to do so and just keep relying on the idea that your building will stand there for ages, you will find it cobwebbed and discover it as an ugly and a bit useless place soon...
Looking at the small lego constructions on the shelf... one year without rubbing away the dust on them... I always wanted to take care of them. Wasnt able to be there when they were stuck in the dust. I love them and I hope that they still remember me.
Taking a deep breath... A small castle in my hand. Many memories back. Smile. Happy to see its many doors, lockers... Getting the dust away, just with a small movement.
Bright smile :) Ahh, looks as fantastic as I remember it :) I open its door and walk through the colourful corridors and the castle tells me its fairy tales, explains about the giants it was fighting with, the moments where there was no light inside and noone holding a candle... "I am here again, my castle. And I am here for you..."
The high blue tower. Ahh, I love it so much! I remember placing every single stone in it. And it grew, and grew, and grew... It looks pretty fancy. I am quite careful. Tenderly getting my fingers along its constructure till it is finally polished and glittering again. I noticed that its roof is a bit ruined. And I promised it to build it higher when I come back. So I have to be very careful now. I mean, it is a special lego - if you place something wrong now, it will fall from very high. And the damages will be huger. No, I dont want it to happen.
And here is my small cottage. I couldnt finish it before I left. So, it looks quite strange now - the first floor is ready, and half of the second as well. Though the dust on it managed to find place in every single corner. Hmm, how to get it away? I am trying with my fingers again, than with the sleeve of my blouse... Ouch, this was a wrong decision. I even put the dust deeper into its walls. Trying again. Gosh, it is hard. Getting nervous. Getting desperate. "Cottage, I need your help... Can you please help me?... Do you hear me..." Dont know what to do. I want to see its coziness again, the warmth in the chimney. I am thirsty for it... Trying again. No, I have to avoid pressure or I will break the walls! Dont know what to do... I put it back on the shelf. What should I do? Trying to relax. I will come back on it again - I have invested too much material and efforts in this building to just let it so...
Tired. But happy - there are many renovations waiting for me. So looking forward - to painting walls in brighter colours, to putting more pictures on them, to change surroundings in order to provide my buildings with better views...
Happy to be home again somehow...
