I Detest Cleaning

I detest cleaning
No matter how trendy the equipment is, it can’t excite me to clean

I detest cleaning. I just can’t grasp the concept of enjoying cleaning. Yes I know it eventually needs to be done but my modus operandi is to just let it be. Living through others. I think I’ve applied that this year to many things but interestingly, it’s even extended to cleaning. Since March, there’s been a rapid explosion of ‘Clean with Me’, organisational and productivity videos on YouTube. It’s provided some feel good productivity purpose and motivation in my life while watching them. Only it comes with a sense of shame and inadequacy after viewing them. The feeling of productiveness and being on top of things only lasts however long the videos are and I mellow back to reality after. The dream.

Impostor Syndrome

I recently came across the term impostor syndrome. On face value it sounds like pretending to portray someone you’re not – an actor without the title. Close. 

Being Me

Once I was 4 years old ♪

There I am, so young. My mum somehow saved this photo from an article in the local paper about Te Whāriki and in all its pixelated glory. Not sure why I was wearing a crown while eating what appears to be cake, despite not being the birthday boy. Just being me I guess… 

How to lose friends and alienate people

The title of How to lose friends and alienate people is a parody in itself. So while taking some liberty with the name, I think it sums up my week nicely after the more serious posts.
