stop being messy

Don’t think this will ever happen tbh :) lol

I have always been messy but inside is a clean freak dying to come out. I always wanted a neat tidy organized room/apartment. I find I function much better this way. I have a crazy closet full of clothes, unhung pictures,crazy filing system. At least i make my bed, wash clothes every 2 weeks, clean bathroom, kitchen regularly but my room is a basket case. Will do it though, little by little starting tomorrow.

I hate my mess. I’ve always been the messy one of my friends. I had a friend in high-school who used to refer to my room as the coke graveyard because of all the empty and half empty cans of soda everywhere. I feel ostracized and alone. I’m afraid for anyone to come to my door for fear they will see inside my house. I can never have company without hours and hours of cleaning. I’m so tired of living this way. I dream of a life where I can have people drop by at any time or just crawl into bed without having to move a pile of stuff.

I am taking in a boarder and no one should pay to live in a mess.
I would also like to start being a foster parent but I would never be approved being so messy.

Because I am.

i think i can officially say i have stopped being messy. lets just hope i don’t go back.
You might wonder how, and i’ll tell you how i did it, although i don’t know if my formula would work for anyone else as it is fairly unique.
first, i got married. to a messy man. you don’t know just how annoying messiness is until you live with another person’s messiness.
secondly, i have my own house to keep clean. i think underneath it all i was always a clean person, i hate a messy bathroom and kitchen. they are clean except when in use, and are cleaned as i go in using them. the rest is very organised.
which brings me to my third and final point. God bless storage. i went to a storage shop with my husband and used some of our wedding gift money to buy various shapes and sizes of storage boxes. they come in plastic, in various bright colours which seems to make being organised fun in a weird way. my office is very neat and tidy, with a box for every item category (ribbon box, paper box, pencils box, etc)and it just looks so cute i actually want to keep it looking like that.
and with all the new wedding gift furniture, the rest of the house is looking a little like a small version of something you’d find in a furniture store add. i say small because it’s quite a small house, thus the need to be very organised, and also very strict when it came to sorting through all of my possessions deciding what to keep and what to discard.

so here’s to not being a messy packrat anymore!

It’s amazing how much the state of your room depends on the state of your mind! Things got much better recently. Just gotta get used to it.

i dont think it’ll happen tho

By the way ,I have a bookcase of 8 shelves and a filing cabinet of 4 drawers two of them are empty..!

Okay…...I will wash them tomorrow!
