When I saw today’s prompt — a lot of stuff — I smiled. Because I really have a lot of stuff.
Not only on shelves, in drawers, or under the bed — but scattered all over the house.
Toys, crayons, half-built Lego cities, forgotten socks, and superhero capes.

The kind of chaos that makes you trip on toy cars, step on puzzle pieces, and find glitter in your coffee mug.
It’s loud, wild, and endless — and yet, it’s life.

As a father of three, I’m always somewhere between cleaning, fixing, and chasing. And in those rare quiet moments, I realize something: one day, I’ll miss this chaos. The laughter, the noise, the mess that fills every corner of the house.

Because one day, the toys will stay in their boxes, the shoes will line up neatly by the door, and the silence will echo through rooms that once overflowed with stories.
That’s when I’ll wish for just one more messy day — one more afternoon of noise, spilled juice, and tiny hands building their worlds across the floor.

So maybe a lot of stuff isn’t just clutter. Maybe it’s love in disguise — the daily proof that our home is alive, growing, and full of heart.
