Summer Cleaning

I have been cleaning a lot this week.

My room isn’t especially dirty; I just find it cathartic to purge things from my life that are old or have gone unused. I hate clutter and messiness. I thrive in the clean, logical and organized. I enjoy creating that. I found myself wanting to hold on to old things, old thoughts, old ideas. I found myself trying to legitimize a relationship with these things (these things are nice things to have!). Then I realized, they are just things. These things are just vanity.

 Lose them. Forget them. 

Make new things. Create new relationships with newly made things. Make adventures with these things. Cherish these things while they last. Forget old things ever existed.

Trust that new better things will come out of cleaning.

Then I realized, I am not just cleaning my room anymore.

Now, can I sleep?
