A TOUR OF THE WORKSPACE OF MY UNIVERSE

In the vast universe, everyone has their own space. Whether to live, work, or find
happiness, every person needs space. Even when you only exist, you are already occupying
your own space.
Throughout the years, the universe has experienced a multitude of changes. Stars have
died and formed again. Planets, moons, and asteroids have collided and formed new celestial
bodies. Even the size of the universe has expanded manifold. And just like the universe, people
and their surroundings altered. That includes the space they use to make their efforts in life.
Every individual's place to work has changed. Gradually, equipment and offices have
altered, transformed, and shifted into modern and ergonomic tools and environments to adapt
to the current circumstances. And now, such an environment for labor has been termed a
workspace.
Now, what is a workspace? According to the BountiXP Team on their website blog article,
‘Workspace VS workplace: What’s the difference?’, the area where each person does their work
is called a workspace. If you work from home, it may be a table in your kitchen, a hot desk, a
cubicle, a coffee shop window seat, or even a hot desk. With the ‘New Normal’ situation after
the COVID-19 Pandemic, the term is modified into the "new normal" workspace. It may be simply
interpreted as a space to work confined within the comforts of home.

Of course, I have my new normal workspace. In fact, what I used to write

this feature is in my very own universe. Do you want to see it? Well then, let us go
on a space tour and explore the cosmos of my workspace!

Ready? In three, two, one… blast off!

Vshhhhh, vshhhhh, voooop!

The first stop is the Computer System, the Solar

System of my universe. It possesses different celestial
bodies, creating harmony as a whole. When one entity is
abolished, the entire system is affected. Its function is to help
me convert my stellar thoughts and ideas into life. It assists
me in completing my academic tasks, and also provides me
news and entertainment that’s out of this world! It is my main
tool for studying lessons, creating written works, and being a
knowledgeable citizen of the galaxies.
 A few light years away is my Writing Desk. Legend
says that different stars have aligned in the shape of a desk,
which formed my furniture for writing (or at least in my
imagination). I use it to scribble down all of my astronomical
ideas down in paper. It is also where I think and create a
space of thoughts. This is where I spend time looking for a
brighter future ahead of me.

The next stop is my Mini-Library, or should I say Galaxy

of Books? I think of each shelf as a solar system, and each
book is a world of wonder. There are lots of different books I
can read in my Library, and it helps me gather the information
I need for my academic endeavors. I visit them sometimes as
an escape route from electronic gadgets that damage the
eyes when used long-term. There is a lot of information I can
acquire from the library. It can be definitions, explanations,
instructions, mathematical formulas, trivia, stories, poems,
and many more. Just like the galaxies, you can discover
countless possibilities with each material you read in a library.
And that is how I feel when I visit my Galaxy of Books.

Arriving at the final destination, we can find my Nebula

of Miscellaneous Storage. The Space Center Houston
defines a nebula as a cloud of dust and gas occupying the
space between stars and acting as a nursery for new stars.
My storage is that nebula, where miscellaneous
paraphernalia is stored. Another similar characteristic that my
storage share with a nebula is that dust can clump together
for both things. Diverting back, I usually put stationery
materials in my storage, to save for later uses. I also place in
there some of my old files, such as previous works and notes,
academic projects, and other things that I once made. Maybe
one day, when I need to produce another stellar creation, I
can always look back on my nebula and make stars once
again.
 WOoWOoWooWoo…

Now, we have landed back to where we came from.

Our space tour has been concluded. You have seen the majestic workspace of Aron in
his universe. You have known how unique and distinct my workspace is. There is nothing much
into it, but it is cosmological in my eyes. May it give you a moment of eureka for your own
workspace, like a shooting star passing the dark blue sky.
Having your own workspace doesn’t have to be extravagant or deeply aesthetic. It just
needs to come from your own personality and utilization. Everyone has their own fascinating
workspace that can reflect their life as a whole. You just have to find your own and make it for
your own satisfaction and joy in working. As Joseph Campbell, a writer and a literature professor,
proclaims, “Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.”
What are you waiting for? Go, and create your own workspace!
