    This was very frustrating for me when I went through it. I was in a growing phase, trying to get my life on tracks, and I HATED that I could never have all my clothes I love to wear washed while still being able to wear them. Obvious, I know. But it really wasn’t something I had encountered before, because I never really cared about keeping things tidy.

    It’s funny that once you decide you want things tidy, you realize they never truly will be.

    You can clean up all the cans, but you will crack another.

    You can do all the laundry, you gotta wear it

    You can clean the plates, still gotta eat off of them

      Just chill, there’s an insurmountable amount of work to have a perfect house. Is that what truly gives you happiness, or is it the untidiness that gives you unease?

      And either case, is that truly coming from you or the family/peer pressure?

      I feel this comment intensely. I have no idea where this dissatisfaction comes from, but it was just an invisible part of the lived environment for most of my life, and only now am I realising that we’re chasing something, an end state, that is fundamentally unachievable.

      Maybe it’s the video games. I’m waiting for an achievement to pop up so I know I’m finished lol. :P
