My house has a window that never opens
My house has a window that never opens.
That window, which can be seen from the outside, cannot be opened.
I wonder why. When viewed from the outside, it looks like an ordinary window found anywhere.
The reason is that the location of that window is... inside a wall.
My house has undergone several renovations and additions, so it often has mysterious things like this.
There is a door that never opens behind the bathroom. There is a mysterious shelf on the second floor. There are traces of moved doors.
A mysterious pillar towers in the kitchen. What was the original layout like?
It is full of things that make you want to ask, 'What is this?' That is my house.
My house, which is full of things that make you want to ask, 'What is this?', also has its good points. The scenery is the best.
The view is great. In the summer, you can see fireworks, and on sunny days, you can see both the sea and the mountains.
The balcony is wide, and it looks like you could even put a garden table there.
It has been five years since I bought this house used. I have already gotten used to questioning things.
The things that make you want to ask, 'What is this?' now sit in the house with a look of 'it's only natural.'
I feel like the sand wall in the study is cracking, but I am pretending not to see it.
Perhaps, unless I do a full renovation, the things that make you want to ask, 'What is this?' will not leave my house.
I am living with them. They are already part of my daily life.
However, I still haven't found a use for the shelf installed on the second floor.
It is too small to be a bookshelf. Then, what should I put in it? In the first place, what is it there for?
By the time my son becomes a middle school student, I will probably have to add an air conditioner to his area on the second floor.
And he, too, will probably notice. The biggest thing in this house that makes you want to ask, 'What is this?'
'Why is the entire second floor opened up into one room?'
I am sure the day will come when he thinks that.
For some reason, I feel at ease in my house that has undergone such magical remodeling.
There is a kind of nourishment and peace of mind that can only be obtained precisely because it is off-kilter.
If this 'off-kilter' nature were to disappear from this house, it would probably be unbearably boring.
