Yearning to Break Free of the Clutter Around Me
Why I dream about light, airy spaces
Clutter! It's everywhere around me. I am at my desk typing away on my computer next to a bookshelf overflowing with books. Nearby, my dressing table is filled with little jars and pots of cream and all kinds of accouterments that I use for my face and body to look polished and put together on a daily basis.
I hate clutter but it surrounds me and I am not quite sure what I can do about it.
I am not a hoarder by any means. I am far from being an extreme case like that. However, I am not a neat freak either but I do keep tidy and clean as much as I can. Yet, I can’t seem to get rid of the clutter.
It’s not just any clutter — it’s personal clutter. The books overflowing on my bookshelves are old childhood favorites. The jars and pots of cream on my dressing table were bought with my hard-earned money. I can’t throw, hide or give away any of it.
Yet, I yearn to break free of the clutter around me. I dream of a large, airy, and open space with no bookshelves or tables overflowing with stuff.
I dream of empty space — the kind of space that is large enough to hold a ballroom. The type of space that can only be for the privileged few.
