I was going to write a post but then found this and I decided I needed to meditate on this. Make known all the messes I've been hiding under the bed and throwing in Monica's* closet.
“Clutter and mess show us that life is being lived...Tidiness makes me think of held breath, of suspended animation... Perfectionism is a mean, frozen form of idealism, while messes are the artist's true friend. What people somehow forgot to mention when we were children was that we need to make messes in order to find out who we are and why we are here.” ― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
* As homework, please watch the episode of Friends- The One with the Secret Closet. Circa 2002.
This example will make so much more sense. Here is a glimpse of what I mean.
