"Thriving in the Chaos: A Creative Mind’s Messy Home"

Mar 22
2 min read

Do you ever look at someone else's life and think “How come I don’t live like that?”, “Why is her house always so clean?”, “Why don’t I have that decorative eye?”


I think like that sometimes. Especially when I want to redecorate, which my husband will tell you is a lot. Its not even necessarily redecorating but more of moving the furniture around. I just cant seem to have the same layout for too long. It drives me crazy. 

 

But when I see another moms home, and I mean in real life, I sometimes think, why don't I have that eye for really sleek, clean aesthetic. Why is my space like a kid came in and just threw shit on the wall? Why is there no theme or neutral color?


My spaces are colorful and bright. They are messy and lived in. They display so many unfinished projects and glitter that will never be removed.


Why is this mess, my life?


I think having ADHD is partly the reason. But I also think that part of it is because my brain is constantly in creative mode. I am always thinking of a new project, or a new hobby to start or add to. I am also in active mode.


Sometimes I feel like I thrive on chaos. 

Maybe I am just used to it. 


I am not sure what the right answer is but I will say that as much as it may look like a cluttered disaster to others, I know where everything is.


I also know that the next best idea is just waiting to be worked on!
