Olivia wasn’t sure how 2020 should’ve started.

She liked her simple furniture despite being worn, simple wintry jackets though a decade old. She was just satisfied with all the old appliances that worked fine although the models were outdated. She did not go shopping during the Christmas for purchase of new clothes or gifts in spite of her mother tried to drag her out of her gloomy room. She suggested making some positive changes to perk up the monotony looming their life.

Olivia made a decision. She’d keep the old bits & bobs, but rearranging it, her house will breathe new life in itself and leave a sparkle.

As for the light blue flower box carved out of wood, it’ll remain as is in the corner of her room! Olivia was in denial with what plight her two-month-old endured, keeping the little one's gubbins, not ready to meddle or rekindle the heart-wrenching memories.
