The fact of the matter is, I simply cannot keep my bedroom "mom clean" for over a week. In my defense, it's not like I haven't tried. I truly do like being clean! It drives me nuts when my room is a disaster! So, why can't it just stay put together everyday instead of falling apart within 24 hours? The world may never know. However, to the unskilled eye, my room may appear simply hectic. But to me, it's actually fairly organized. One may not believe that I could find anything in my mess of a room, but one would be wrong. It's just because THEY are not familiar with my method of organization...But why would they need to be rummaging through my personal belongings anyway? I know where things are, and that's all that matters. In every other aspect of my life, I prefer order, such as with my schoolwork. Would you believe that I actually alphabetize my DVD's and color-coordinate my closet? So why is it that my bedroom does not reflect such order? Perhaps it's a sort of security, because I know no other indivdual would be able to locate anything in there. Here's an interesting thought: maybe it's my creativty leaking through in the form of mass disorder. Let me explain...
"Having a messy room should not classify a person strictly as scatterbrained. They say
that people who have creative minds often have “messy” rooms. The layout of possessions in one’s room may very well reflect one’s inner mind. If someone often thinks “outside of the box” and in ways that are uncommon and not traditional, his room is often not organized with a traditional filing cabinet method."
-In Defense of Messy Rooms by Kevin Jefferson
So which is it? Am I merely scatterbrained or is my messy room an outlet for my over-flowing creativity? I'm gonna stick with creativity.
ha i think you just have to much stuff. simplify! when i moved out i left tons of stuff behind, and now my room is much easier to keep clean
