oh god yes.
what is around us reflects what is inside us.
my ex, we'll call her Andrea, was:
- irresponsible
- selfish
- disorganized
- truly unhappy and unfulfilled
our house, for ten years, i called it "Hurricane Andrea"
- piles of laundry, clean and dirty, intermingled, in every room, on the floors, every horizontal surface, and the furniture.
- piles of dirty dishes, everywhere, under the couch, in the bathroom, in the bedroom, everywhere
- piles of paperwork, mail, bills, important documents, laying strewn everywhere, on top of the entertainment center, all over the dining room table, inside night stands, on top of night stands, in dressers, in car trunks, you name it, paperwork was there
- piles of started and unfinished projects, homework, unpaid bills, to-do lists everywhere started and never finished, neglected to the point of being worse off than if never conceived.
while living in Hurricane Andrea, i routinely wanted to blow my head off with a 12 gage shotgun and hers too.
it wasn't good.
now, my home is NOT spotless, hell, some might say it's even dirty from time to time. i do not maintain a museum, and it's not always guest-ready. BUT i do not live in a hurricane anymore. and i know for a fact, that i am happier not living in that sort of insanity. and insanity IS what it was.
