but the older I get, the more I let go of things
And I used to think I was the only one. Every 5 years or so I have a let go of a lot of things, even a lot of the stuff that were once known to be "too valuable", even those are disposed of.
It's like one needs to spend time doing laundry, washing the dishes
Is it just me, or do people really find such chores to be fairly therapeutic? Like washing the dishes, whenever I'm washing the dishes my mind just feels lighter, and all of a sudden I can think clearly. Even when doing the laundry, it's kind of the same feeling here too, but I do hate carry all those clothes from here to here, way too heavy haha.
Also when you finally get rid of that stubborn, pesky spot/stain from somewhere; suddenly you feel like you've achieved something big, that feeling right there is absolutely priceless haha.
You know I think it's an inbuilt stress reliever. Like it's a genetic thing. Tidy house, tidy mind they say!
I'd have to agree with that, I think I got this trait from my father.
And me from my parents, both clean freak virgos!
I surely did get the neat and clean trait, but I can't say the same for both of my younger brothers. 😂
