Clutter not Messy


I started writing the daily prompt yesterday but didn’t know what to write after the chaos that happened this past weekend. Honestly though, an extra hour a day, to me won’t feel any difference these days because I’ve been so darn busy during the weekend.

So I decided to write fiction yesterday. This morning, I took a look at the prompt and barely anything comes to mind. The tension at home is driving me to insanity and my inspiration away. I have no idea what happens at home these days. Should I stand up and ask someone or should I just let whatever it is play out? 

Anyway, I don’t want to get into much detail right now, maybe later. So let’s get into the question asked by the Daily Prompt. I will never call my computers’ home screens messy. It doesn’t have empty, useless folders. The only icons on it are of software programs.

I won’t call my room a mess either. Sure, it’s plain, small, and cluttered, most of the room is occupied by a queen-size bed and a dresser, but I will never call it a mess. I classify messy to be having stuff strewn everywhere to the point that it’s impossible to get anywhere. Well that isn’t true, so I won’t classify my room messy. (I wish I have a photo but I’m in school right now.)

I believe everything has a rightful place. Therefore everything in my room is placed in a storage container of some kind. That’s why you won’t see any sort of mess in my room but you might find a mess in any one of the drawers in my dresser.

I have a sliding door closet and there are about two or three baskets piled up in the darkest corner of the closet full of old homework and exams from my undergraduate years that I don’t want to throw away. I’m sentimental that way. Believe it or not, before June of this year, these baskets couldn’t be stacked, at least not until I threw away a pile of useless papers. 😛
