Gathering up bits and pieces can be a loving comfort, to me anyway. Seems there is nothing tidy about the brains and thoughts for any of us. Still waters run deep. Great write. H🌷
Oh'oh...you've triggered more TRUE CONFESSIONS time.
I do not "keep everything" but the state of both my van and my dear little sanctuary room are always topics of judgement for me family. I am the most disorganized person i've ever met. Luckiily I keep my mess contained & do my share of cleaning up in the rest of the house. I draw the line at never taking food to my room. Ive never been able to handle having organic decomposition in any place i've owned (long ago) or room renting. Any dishes, utensils, i use in cooking or eating are immediately cleaned. I don't litter either. Spent countless hours pickin up other folk trash on the beach. I mean everyday for years, as the sun went the two or so miles back to the car, always picked up anything " inorganic". I could never comprehend how people could be so fucking disrespectful. Hope that'll be enough to get me into heaven. Ha'ha....Damn, I miss them days. Never be able to do that shit again.
