How much can we really relax at home...
I sit at home after a lovely time at Sunrise festival and am reading, watching and writing and eating away. What a relief after a saw ass in a tent for 5 days to be lying on my comfortable bed and not worrying about waking up at any time to get up for uni or whatever. I can just remember good times in a field or lose myself with entertainment. Although there is a distinct lack of friends to converse with, a hell of a lot of miles between me and them and no cultural landmark, shop, tower to walk to for miles. With a mother who’s very unappreciative of others coming to stay and living in the middle of nowhere with plenty to walk, but a large walk to get to anywhere – I have really started to ponder what exactly constitutes relaxation at home. Aside from the obvious stated before, there really isn’t much else to do at home so what constitutes a more defined relaxation? I love to spend time alone, but for how long till you mind starts to distort reality slightly. Straight after the festival I stayed in a random Somerset location with a lovely friend and her more than accommodating parents. Upon arrival I was urged to help myself to use anything in their fridge and their intensive conditioner on my dreaded festival hair. I could have stayed there for days on end, with delightful and intelligent conversation, a very large collection of decent movies and a nice rounded collection of literature with a light atmosphere. Though to how much was I worthy of this relaxation? I needed to get home. I certainly don’t expect it at my home with friends, I am use to it with others for sure rounds theirs, though I never like to outstay my welcome. Throwing uni into the equation, I pondered how much your university home constitutes relaxation too depending on the housemate, location and stress levels at the time, so with these different dimensions of home life, friends houses and university accommodation – how does relaxation in the home really define itself or does it even exist at all. Well certainly not for everyone anyway.
