Are you Willing?

All places need interior design. It's obvious that some of these places are homes, offices, and other commercial buildings, but what about prisons, rehabs, and shelters? It has been brought to my attention today that these places are in desperate need of interior design. The places and people that need it most, are the one's most neglected. Some reasons why is the fact that there's just not enough money in that area of interior design, but also, some people just don't care. It may go beyond some people's ethics, but who is willing to do it?

I wouldn't mind designing the interiors of the places because my job as an Interior Designer is protect the health, safety, and welfare or people. Who is helping these people? It shouldn't matter if it's a prisoner, a patient, or homeless. They still need a place that is safe. Prisoners still deserve to be in a safe place regardless of why they are in prison. They still have the right to live until it's their time. The same goes for the homeless; regardless of what they did to be in the predicament they are in or how they got there shouldn't deprive them of their rights as a human. Those in rehab lack the design relief that is required in an interior. Design relief is a major concept and those who are rehabilitating are some who need it most; yet they have it least.

Going to these places to do research in creating a better interior for these people would be the only thing I would struggle with. Seeing their faces and looking into their eyes would be the hardest part. But I would have to remember what I am there to do; better their conditions. Being able to improve their minds and everyday life is what matters.

Who else is willing to better these unnoticed interiors and unrecognized people?

Is It Fair?

Some people strive and work hard their entire life to accomplish their goals. For some, this goal is to establish a successful career. They go to school, study, give things up, do things they don't want to, and put all they have into achieving the career that they thought could possibly only remain a goal. It not only take effort, but time too. So how would you feel after working all this time, doing all the things you had to do to acquire the career of your dreams only to see others with the same job, but achieved by other routes.

There are people who don't go to school, don't try, don't spend their money or time, but somehow, they have the career you strived for. They may have experience or passion, but does that make it fair? Does that make it okay?

Personally, I would feel cheated. After all the things I had done only to be equal to someone who did less than half the things I had done. How could I not feel hurt. I'm not even there yet, but after all the time and money I've already spent and seeing undeserving people in the place I should be makes me feel like I've wasted everything just to be nothing.
