The room in which the piano is put, however, is small, with the piano, like, occupying more than half of the space.
Time flies and a few years later, the child leaves home for college - which leaves the parents with a dilemma. What do we do with the piano?
Keep it where it is makes some sense, in that it reminds them of their child. However, removing them also makes a lot of sense. It frees up space for the parents to put other furniture in.
None of the parents being musically literate, the piano looks useless now that the child is gone.
Now, you get it. That piano, with the child gone, does nothing but take up space - it merely takes up space.
Yes, "take UP" has a slight negative connation to it.
OK, no more ado, here are media examples of people and things that just take up space in one situation or another:
1. Dealing with anxiety has always been something that was “normal” for me. I’m an over-thinker and an over-analyzer to the nth degree. If I didn’t worry so much, maybe I would forget that Monday meeting I needed to prep for. Or, maybe if I didn't over-analyze, I would have dropped the ball on planning my BFF's birthday party. Because anxiety is something I’ve always dealt with, it’s almost like it’s a part of me — a part of who I am.
When I found out I carry a mutation on my BRCA gene (aka the breast cancer susceptibility gene) in March 2018, and that I have a greatly increased risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer, you can only imagine how intense my anxiety became. My “normal” anxiety went from livable to unbearable. I couldn’t focus at work, my heart was racing, I couldn’t eat or sleep, and I sometimes felt numb of any emotion. It guess it's all fun and games until someone tells you carry an 85% chance of developing breast cancer.
