JUST FINISHED DEEP CLEANING PART OF MY SHARED APARTMENT. Some THOUGHTS:

Whenever I have to deep clean, my mind tries to push me to procrastinate, but then, when I’m done I feel like I’ve also “cleansed” myself, I sense old dusty energies vanishing away. It’s just a silly little thing but in a way it’s so important: I’m thinking about how far I’ve come from when I was 18yo, when I moved far from home for the first time, anxious and scared about how I would’ve dealt with “adulting”. I’m proud of myself. All of this to say: we should stop beating ourselves up because as a society we’ve learned that only big achievements are worthy of being celebrated. The meaning of life it’s hidden in little things, things that keep us pushing towards greater ones. Every step it’s a great achievement. And now, I’m just at peace, listening to Common and watching the view from my little balcony, looking at aeroplanes in the distance, thinking about how many things are waiting for me. Weird, it’s a rare feeling for me, but I like it.

Method act as a girl with a clean room

i like doing this sometimes because instead of being a chore it's an artistic activity. silly but it allows me to take a step away from the fear that i am unclean in essence, because i'm no longer playing myself so there's nothing to prove or avoid. also: telling myself i only have to put away 10 items or clean for 5 minutes (instead of telling myself to clean the entire apartment) makes it much easier to convince myself to start, and i usually end up getting much more done once i'm in the zone.

cleaned for over 4 hours today.

as someone who has struggled my entire life with keeping my space clean and valuing my well being enough to keep my things nice, i'm trying to rewrite the story i tell myself about my room. it's not overwhelming, it's just something i need to chip away at slowly, to make it a habit. and goddamn does it feel incredible to have clean sheets, clean floors and a full heart. i must persist, for it is the only option!!
