Currently listening to: The Great War – Taylor Swift
My knuckles were bruised like violets
Sucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep-talked
Spineless in my tomb of silence
Tore your banners down, took the battle underground
And maybe it was ego swinging
Maybe it was her
Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
What does your bedroom say about who you are?
Prompt created by yours truly.
Feel free to use any prompts for July that I post and/or tag me.
I’d love to read your responses.
I suppose it says a few things:
- I am horrible at making the bed
- I am a minimalist, my brain can’t handle clutter
- I have a thing for Edo Japanese, mid-century, and Scandinavian designs
- I prefer darker colored woods like mahogany
- I should really clean up the area before taking pics
For the most part, work is unpredictable and high-stress. My childhood was chaotic and traumatic. It’s hard for me to function at home if I have a lot of clutter. I will get distracted and it’s difficult for me to lock in.
My dad was also a minimalist. He would throw away our belongings if it wasn’t put away immediately or if things weren’t tidy. He tossed my clothes into the garbage when I failed to hang them up in a timely manner. He threw away several of my mom’s plants before it was getting out of hand, according to him (in Korean). People who came over to the house would say that we lived in a museum.
I gravitate towards order and control and well… this is one of the few things that I really have control over.
I’ve moved about 20 times now and keeping things light has become a habit… just in case I want to move again.
With that being said, I do enjoy being in other people’s homes that look “lived in” with all the tchotchkes, knickknacks, trinkets, artwork, and what nots.
