I Can Show You the World (Or At Least My Apartment...)

I spent some time trying to come up with the perfect name for my apartment (it’s just a thing I do.) There were several good options, but they didn’t seem to quite fit. For example:  “The Shire” and “Hobbiton” were two of my first thoughts, but those are names of villages and large acres of rolling hills. They’re too outside-y to be given to an inside-y place. “Bag End” and “Mole End” were also on the list, but those are partially or wholly underground. They’re cozy, but they’re dark and small and not quite what I was going for. Howgarts wasn’t right. Raxacoricofallapatorius is a personal favorite. But I might be the only person I know who can both remember and pronounce it. Besides, it's a planet. And Gallifrey is also a planet and it’s giant and red. So that didn’t work either. This may seem like a lot of effort for such a silly thing but, hey, that’s how I roll. Finally, after much deliberation, I found the perfect name. And here I am in video form to give you a tour of it…

You may be curious why I chose the name I did. It’s because when you think about it, it really is the perfect fit. It’s tall, and I live on the third level of my apartment complex. And it’s a nice, light, homey place. I have often wished I could visit and spend some time there. It just seems like the perfect place to come home to at the end of the day, and unwind with the people you love. So, real life Burrow (no one better say anything about it “not being a real place,” because I’m not gonna hear it) I tip my invisible hat to you.

Hope you enjoyed the tour. You may have seen some of my motivational writing pictures scattered around the apartment. Those are fun. Also, let me know what you thought about the song clip. I’d love to get your feedback.
