Apparently there’s something about me that people need to know about... or so I am told. Therapists ya know, doing things like know you. Gosh, get out of my head. Oh, wait that’s what I pay you for. I guess you can stay there. Anyways, why did I make this tumblr or is this just tumble dry on low? I said earlier that there is something that people need to know, something that I have learned and apparently I am sufficient at it. The first thing that comes to my mind is survival, though I bet if you asked my therapist it would be something like resources. See I grew up and I had the stuff, you know the toys, marching band, the instrument, everything was paid for we were fed, but it was the behind closed doors is where the trouble laid. The house....
The house was filthy. I mean filthy. I had friends who came over and would not come back. I essentially had to beg people sometimes to sleep over because well who would want to? So, filthy house grows up to an adult who now has a family and does not know how to clean. I tried hard for years. Then I realized there was something that I was not using to my advantage... Youtube. I follow Moms, other Moms that know how to clean to teach me what I was never taught. To teach me to clean naturally instead of bleach everywhere throwing my asthma into a loop. It’s amazing that house are actually kept tidy and not hoarded and covered in a crusty layer of dust. I have a home... a home that sure is lived in sometimes but is not filthy, it’s not some place where people would not want to walk into. It’s pretty remarkable.. and it’s remarkable that I am giving myself credit.. finally.
