7 Things Messy People Are Tired Of Hearing

Some people are good at science, some are good at writing. Some people like ice cream while like frozen yogurt. Some people are immaculately clean, others are repulsively messy. For those of us who are repulsively messy, I am here to say, We have had enough.

Here are seven things messy people are tired of hearing.

1. "Clean up this mess."

No. I hate cleaning. This "mess" you speak of is my private utopia of nonsense and I like it just the way it is, thank you.

2. "How do you find anything in this pigsty?"

Well, you see, I am a complex human being. I have a very intricate way of organizing things that only I understand. You just wouldn't get it.

3. "Your purse is so heavy; are there bricks in here?"

If you consider a spare pair of socks, bandaids, my wallet, a hair brush, nail clippers, an apple, three pairs of sunglasses, five lip balms, roll-on perfume, a phone charger and a water bottle a "brick"... then yes. Messy people have learned to carry anything they could ever need in their bags; be nice to them and maybe they will share.

4. "Did a bomb go off in here?"

No, I just couldn't find anything to wear.

5. "Maybe if you cleaned up you could find something to wear."


If I can't find something to wear with every article of clothing I own laid out on my floor, how would I be able to find something in my drawer?

6. "How do you know what is clean and what is dirty?"

Simple: everything that smells good is definitely clean, everything that smells OK once it is sprayed with perfume is moderately clean and everything that has already been sprayed with perfume and still smells dirty, is dirty.

7. "You have too much stuff."

This may be true, but that doesn't mean you have to say it.

For all the neat freaks out there: us messy folks will never be like you. We will never have a place for everything or an urge to clean our rooms, just like you would never leave the house without folding your freshly-dried clothes. Just the way it is.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
