Taking Ownership

The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.
— Michel de Montaigne

After what seems like years of logo changes, website templates, and typeface, I've finally decided to officially launch my website and blog. Which means as promised, I am also going to start blogging. Yup! You heard me right. I know, is this even Remul? Since this is formally my first official post, let me informally introduce myself! My name is Remul, I'm 25 years old, and a few months before turning 24, I started my journey with Chapter R Interiors when I decided to take a Risk, and quit my job. I didn’t have an official plan, but I did have some money saved up, people to back and support my cause and tons of soul. I must say it’s been the hardest and most draining journey. But it’s also been the best thing I’ve done thus far. Chapter R is my story in this big ole book we call life!

Taking ownership of your life can be difficult, at least it was for me in the beginning. I had to overcome having so much control and authority at such a young age in a professional setting while gaining life experience. The older I became, I started to get a real sense of clarity that everything comes with a purpose. There was a Reason why it took me a year to officially finish this website/blog; it was all timing. And in this time, I had to learn and relearn some things; I had to understand where I wanted to fully take this company and the foundation I wanted to create for it. Therefore, my time was devoted to getting clients, budgeting for operational costs and finding a home base for the company (but that's for another post). Most importantly, I had to use this time to Relax in my being and Respect my light. I had to use this opportunity to get out of my shell and take OWNERSHIP.

The Goal for this website

I want this website to be a community, not only a sector for interior design & business, but also art, my culture, and life in general! Along this journey, I realized I am not only an interior designer; I am an entrepreneur and curating art, and design in our everyday lives is my passion. I hope you follow along with me. I'll be giving design tips behind the scenes stories; with my new business venture in construction & real estate and other adventures, I might stumble across the way. My goal is to keep myself in motion. Take a look at the new website, check out what I do and some of my projects!
