10 Things Messy People Understand

When you’re messy like me, sometimes it can be hard to feel anything other than resentment towards your mess, but let’s face it, we’re all a little messy.

1. YOU'RE NOT MESSY You’re simply organizationally challenged. You could clean any time you wanted, but your brain says “no, Netflix,” and you just can’t resist.

2. Your best friends are your greatest distraction. They drag you away from your mess to their clean homes, where you stay all day long because it is simply SO CLEAN. You could never be this clean. That would require time and effort and your time is precious.

3. Having people show up unexpectedly is the WORST.

Your entire house is a wreck, and you have no time to clean, so you start playing the excuses game. What excuse did you use last time? You hope you don’t repeat the same

4. You live in your house, but your car is your closet. It holds everything you need, and everything you don’t. When you finally take the plunge, and clean it out, you realize you have way more clothes than you ever thought you did. You also realize how much soda you actually drink.

5. Everything has a place. No matter how messy it may get, everything has a place. DVD’s? There’s a place for that. Shoes you wear a lot? There is a a place for that. Seemingly random craft material? There’s a place for that.

6. Just because your clothes are still in the hamper does not make them dirty, you’re just too lazy to put them up.

Enough said.

7. Your desk is where everything you need to work on, but don't goes.

It holds everything from necklaces, to textbooks, to important paperwork all stacked up.

8. You like to step on things you shouldn’t. Like books, and cords, and blankets. If it is on the floor, you’ve probably stepped on it. You have also probably hurt your feet a couple of times.

9. People tell you all the time your life would be so much easier if you were cleaner.

Yes, we know. But the effort it takes to have it stay clean is not worth the hardship. When messy people clean, we CLEAN. Everything must be done. We must finish it all that day. Or else it won’t ever get done.

10. Finally cleaning your room is the best.

It makes you feel so good you just want to jump around with joy. IT’S FINALLY CLEAN.

Being messy is not easy work. We don’t relish in the fact that we’re messy people. Sometimes we really do have to get down to it, and clean everything up, but for the most part, us messy people, We don’t mind, and simply cannot understand why people seem to take it so personally when they finally realize how messy we actually are. Messy people, are messy. We own it, and we know it.

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.
