I know, crazy. I write like once every 3 weeks and here I am on a consecutive day writing in this blog. Well I had a little life realization a little while ago. I wanted to record it, because anyone who knows me will be just shocked for this one.
As my parents, friends, roommates, and boyfriend will attest, I am not the neatest person in the world. Far from it. However, today as I vacuumed and mopped the floors and cleaned my bathroom I found a little source of joy deep within my heart. I thought to myself, "what is this? I'm happy about cleaning?" Weird, I know. But hear me out...I realized that it was in fact joy that I was feeling as I scrubbed the floors and even cleaned the toilet. I realize that this is my home. Sure, I'm not necessarily paying the rent, what college kid has $550 a month to pay? But, when people come over they are going to see this space and know that it's mine. When I wake up in the morning and take a shower I know that this nicely smelling room (thanks to the bath and body works wallflower that is plugged into my far wall) is mine. It's clean, it's neat, and it's mine. I feel so much better in the morning when I wake up and make the bed versus throwing the blankets aside and crawling out. My room looks so happy and comforting. Now, I know it is only the first week. Skeptics out there would say, "just wait. It's going to be just as messy as your room at home or your dorm room." But I think I've genuinely turned over a new leaf. It's kind of exciting. So, if you think I'm not going to make it last, don't tell me. Just prepare to be amazed in a few months when it is clean still. :)
