Rooms & Corners
Some people grow up with rooms.
Some people grow up in corners.
Neither of us chose our starting point.
But we did grow up inside different emotional worlds.
I didn’t hide who I was.
I survived long enough to finally meet myself.
Rooms teach comfort.
Corners teach consciousness.

Reflecting on the metaphor of "Rooms & Corners," I realize how our upbringing shapes not just where we live, but how we emotionally develop. Growing up "in rooms" often symbolizes a safe, familiar space where comfort envelops us, allowing us to express ourselves freely. On the other hand, "corners" evoke a sense of isolation and reflection, prompting heightened awareness and emotional consciousness. From personal experience, learning to embrace both these aspects can be transformative. While rooms nurture solace and identity affirmation, corners challenge us to engage deeply with our feelings and understand ourselves better. The journey through these emotional spaces is integral to healing and identity formation. This spoken word piece beautifully illuminates how surviving and embracing these contrasting worlds leads to self-acceptance and growth. For those on a healing journey, recognizing your "room" as a place of rest and your "corner" as a space for contemplation can be empowering. Rather than seeing corners as places to hide, they can be viewed as sacred spaces that foster consciousness and emotional clarity. Embracing this duality allows us to navigate the complexities of identity with grace and strength.
