A minimalist way of living

in HiveGhana14 days ago
I like to enter someone's house, and the place looks so neat. I mean, joy alone is everything. Staying organized is one thing that beautifies a room and makes it neat. As for me, I really loved having all the equipment for everything I needed. But aside from that, it is another different case for people who have children. After my service, I decided to stay with my sister. So I could relax for some time before I started doing what was necessary.

You know there is actually nothing bad in relaxing before you start your journey back; believe me, that was when I knew a lot of things about children. Because my sister, whom I know, happens to be someone very beat. I mean, my sister is so neat to the extent that even if she sees your clothes dirty, she will wash them and tidy up the entire place just because she hates anything called dirty. But then, getting to her house and seeing everything scattered, I was very shocked. And I asked myself what could be the causes of the problem.

I tried to tidy up the entire place the first week I got to her place, even filling the house with water. But when the children came around, it's another story entirely. I meant that these children would be scattered everywhere in less than five minutes. I was so annoyed. But I told my sister she shouldn't be angry that there should be another way to handle them because, honestly, I do not want to beat them.

Until I went outside, traveled for just a few days, and got back home, I found my entire room dirty. I mean, I couldn't help but shout that day; I was really angry.
I could remember how that last child climbed the place they used to put food stuff, then poured the entire thing on the floor. The funniest part was that I was at home with him alone, and I was so tired that I needed to take a little nap until I realized that he had thrown everything away. Not just that alone, he scattered everywhere with a broom. When I woke up to look for him, I realized what he had done. I just have to leave him alone to finish what he started.

You know, the funniest part was that. Cleaning the entire house when they finish is not even the problem; the problem is that they will continue doing it till you are exhausted. Just from one place to another, and they have scattered the entire house.

Even if you beat them, they will still do it tomorrow, so you don't have a choice. The last one they did to me was so funny. I left them all to do whatever they wanted to do because, honestly, I'm tired. They rearranged everything to their satisfaction and couldn't do anything about it. When my sister came back, she was just laughing because I was tired.

Apart from having children around, I'm yet to learn how to maintain standard room management with them because I don't think it's even possible at all. I personally would love for my room to be one of its kind. I love anything white and blue. I would love to paint the house white, while the entire place should also be white.
I have seen houses, but my love for white cannot be overemphasized. Meanwhile, I love to arrange my place in a minimalist way—I mean, classy but very simple. I'm not someone who fancy too many material things. But I believe there are ways to make things simple and also very classy.

Maintaining a neat apartment with little children around isn't easy but I really love your level of endurance. Really nice post, keep it up
