I Don't Believe In Spring Cleaning

Why don't you just clean year round?

It has come to that time of year where people are getting their spring cleaning on. Yards are being cleaned up, cars washed, house cleaned, clothes changed out, etc. Well, I don't really believe in all that.

I'm not much of a spring cleaner. I'm sure a lot of what gets done is considered spring cleaning, but I just consider it cleaning. Winter is over, so yeah clean up the yard some. I might give my car a good washing, but I might not. My clothes are organized all the time. I randomly go through my room and clean stuff out so there really isn't anything for me to do.

I don't really believe in spring cleaning, to begin with. I mean, most of the stuff people do I feel could be done year round. There are all these articles out there with tips and tricks on getting everything clean. Once again, stuff that could be done year round. Why wait until this one specific time to clean your house?

I get that a lot of people mainly do it because after it's done, you feel good. Winter is finally over, everything is clean and fresh and ready for summer. I admit that, yeah, when I do some cleaning out around this time of year it does feel kind of good. However, so does every other time I clean.

Any time I get new clothes I go through all the ones I have and toss some stuff out. I have a "junk" drawer that I throw random stuff in and I'll go through that every once and again and fix it up. I' rearrange my room from time to time which means places that were covered get cleaned and the whole room is fresh. It feels just as good doing it then as it would come spring.

I feel like waiting for spring is just being lazy in a sense. It's giving in to winter and losing the energy to do anything. I like doing some cleaning in the winter because winter does kind of suck. It sucks the energy out of you and you really don't want to do any cleaning or organizing. It's nice to fight against that and feel like you really accomplished something.

I'm just going to sit back and enjoy watching people doing everything at once and doing all this work, that I've kept up with throughout the whole year. I'll probably go do something fun and not stress out about all the things that need to get done. I have no list.

So for those preparing for their annual cleaning, I wish you good luck. I hope you get everything done and I do hope that you feel good afterward. Just give it a thought about doing things more often.

What do you think about spring cleaning? Do you enjoy it? Do you agree that a lot of it should just be done year round?

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.
