Baby Steps!

Today, I set out to clean my closet and I did it! There’s still a couple of small boxes in there I have to go through, but I can actually walk in there now and begin to organize my clothes.

I found a lot of interesting things during my closet adventure:

  • Candy stash that I forgot about (and threw away)
  • A metric ton of bags
  • Too many recipes
  • Small pile of clothes
  • Pokémon cards
  • Christmas ornaments and lights
  • Enough hangers to start a hanger wholesale shop

and finally… the floor! I found the floor! I forgot how spacious my closet was.

Now that my closet is clean and tidy, I can take on my dresser and start doing laundry for the next week (I do have clean clothes, but I have more that need to be washed). After everything is in its place, and I’ve gotten rid of the stuff I no longer use or need, I can finally start on my main goal: to become more feminine.

I feel accomplished, and I’m extremely proud of myself. I spent about 2 hours this morning just staring at the door, dreading the thought of even entering that space, and now all I want to do is keep going and re-discover my forgotten treasures!

The Closet

Today marks the day that I start working on the one place I’m afraid to even go near: my closet.

My closet is probably the worst part of my room, and the only clothes I get out of there anymore are the ones I have hanging on the door. A pile of Shopping Trip’s Past stands between me and my closet rod; just thinking about it makes me have a panic attack.

The pile in my closet began because my cat Coke (pictured above) would tear up plastic bags and anything in them. Eventually, I got into the habit of just throwing everything in there and closing the door. I used to be able to go in my closet and actually get dressed, but it’s gotten so bad that I can’t get past the doorway.

I will be armed with garbage bags and my Spotify playlist. I guess all that’s left is to get started!
