Sometimes self-care feels like dragging around a child throwing a tantrum.
Accomplishing anything worthwhile involves an inner dialogue between me and my most intimidating mom voice.
“Does that go there?”
“o …”
“Where does it go? Put it back.”
*halfasses the thing*
“Do it right. You are an adult.”
“UGHH, FINE. GOD. WHATEVER.”
It’s not an official resolution or anything, but I am trying to get back in the habit of organizing and decorating my living space. I haven’t done it in a pretty long time, between being sick, or busy, or just not seeing the point when I was never living anywhere I actually felt like I wanted to be.
I still live with someone who is offended by half the things that make up my identity, and breaks my heart on the regular, and I’m not sure what to do about that yet, but the space here is still (sort of) half-mine. It might help if it at least looked that way instead of like someone else’s house with a pile of boxes in the corner.
If you are a resolution maker, I hope you are doing well and feeling ready to forgive yourself and start over when you get off track (because everyone does and it’s totally okay). January is one of my favorite times to do things because there is so much motivational energy in the air.
But if anyone would like to also offer some physical energy, there is a bookshelf I could use some help assembling …
Hope you have enjoyed this stream of consciousness.
