Querencia
A Querencia is a place or time when you feel most comfortable and powerful. Querencias are different for each person. Your Querencia might be on the soccer field. My Querencia is in my room. My room is almost like my own little apartment inside of my house. I like being in my room because it is my room and no one can disturb me. It is a familiar place that I am used to and I am comfortable in. It smells like coconut because that is what my perfume smells like; it looks like a pigsty, but that’s how I like it; and when you’re in my room, you can hear my neighbors playing in the background and birds chirping outside my window.
I go to my room when I am feeling sad, mad or just need to be by myself. When I am sad, I can cry without anyone seeing me; when I’m happy I can jump around and dance like a crazy person and not worry about how I look or what people are thinking of me.
I feel powerful in my Querencia because I control what goes on, where everything is, and who can and can’t come in. I mostly listen to my ipod, watch T.V, do my homework or play with my dog peanut. Peanut is a 5 month old Chihuahua Terrier puppy that I got my birthday over the summer. She likes going in my room because it is calm and peaceful so she can have a nice nap on my lap with out any disturbance.
I can act however I want in my room because no one is watching; I can do what ever I want in my room because it is my room and I have control over it. No one can tell me what to do. That’s why I like being in there. My Querencia is my favorite place to be. My room.
