Day 232: Bedroom
My 20th secret is this: I spend the majority of my life tidying my bedroom.
I'm a natural born messy girl. I try not to be. I try my very very hardest not to be messy. And I do succeed. Whenever I am away on holiday or on a mini-break somewhere, I keep my luggage and things in a orderly fashion. Or that time I lived in Cambridge, my bedroom over there was amazingly spotless [weekly hovering too!]
But here at home, in my natural habitat: I am messy as can be. I don't know why. I haven't the foggiest idea why.
I also remember I featured my messy bedroom for day 21 earlier on in the project. Hah. Funny that.
My bestfriends can swear for a fact that I spend the majority of my life TRYING to tidy my room.
Sure, I do tidy it. It ends up tidy. But then somehow, somewhere, down the line, it gets messy again. Give or take 24-48 hours.
Sometimes I know why. It's lack of space. Too much clutter. Hoarding too much sentimental stuff [a hereditary problem I have inherited from the motherhood], keeping things in order to be more frugal--that type of thing!
But also, when I clear a space, [everyone loves space right?] my mother takes it as an opportunity to cease that space and PUT something there!
For instance, if my bedroom floor is spotless and clear, she will put something in here "for the time being" and it stays there until kingdom come (when things start piling on top and then my bedroom hints to me it needs a tidy!)
My mother has gone away to Los Angeles for a while. So I've taken this opportunity to tidy my room once and for all. Also because I know if she were here she'd be rummaging through all my bags of stuff I'm to chuck out [donating a load of junk to charity shops!] She'd rescue the junk and store it somewhere, most likely in my room again! lol. So am chucking out all my junk [systematically, before I pause and get emotional and remind myself about the memories of such book or such product, which may ultimately lead me to rescuing it! uh oh!]
I'm still in the process of going through everything! And I've just managed to go through all my 3 years' worth of Uni degree notes! Oh the paper!
For the rest of this month of May, I have decided to take this opportunity to do the
30 SECRETS IN 30 DAYS challenge! I will tell you my secrets. Day-by-day :) Ok, some may seem like facts, but they're still things not many people know about, thus qualifying them to BE secrets. Heh.
