Alora Kutzler 8 ¨I might have a problem...¨

Last week I was feeling bored, I didn't have much school work, and I wasn't working. All my friends were doing something so I was stuck in my room practically contemplating life. Now I usually keep my room unbelievably clean. I am anxious if there is even a single shirt on the floor. I pride myself on my neatness, it makes me feel 100 times better knowing my room is neat. For one, the atmosphere feels so much better, and two it's aesthetically pleasing to me.

So anyway, As I looked around my room I noticed my art supplies were all messed up in their bins, my shoes were crooked, and my bed seemed to be leaning more to the left. All these things and more I over analyzed for about a half an hour. I then decided that to solve this I needed to rip apart my room at 8 o'clock at night and rearrange it.

Now I'm five foot and like 120 lbs. I'm not strong whatsoever. My bed frame and headboard are super tall and heavy. There was no way I was moving that by myself. Oh but I was determined. So with Justin Bieber blasting and all my strength I turned into the hulk and chucked my bed a total of 6 inches. I looked at its position and I was pleased. I then turned to my dresser..

I went about my night rearranging everything that I could, hanging up more Christmas lights and fairy lights then necessary. I'm not going to lie, I turned my room into a Hallmark movie winter wonderland. As I finished up, my mom came into my room to tell me to turn down Justin Biebers new song ¨Yummy¨…. Lets just say she wasn't a fan.

She then asked me why I had rearranged my room when I had just done it literally a month ago. With that, I then realized I had indeed done the same thing a month ago and I'm pretty sure the month before that. I realized I was a compulsive room rearranger. But I can't be the only one right? Rearranging your room, even just cleaning it, can give you such satisfaction and overall just makes the vibe in your room so much better. Am I right? So I ask you, am I alone in this? Are you an obsessive room rearranger/cleaner? (I hope i´m not alone!!)

  1. You are not alone. I do this quite often. Now most of the time I do not go full out and go moving heavy furniture around monthly, but I definitely don't judge you for it, just because I don't do doesn't mean I do not think about it. I noticed that I tend to clean just about everything when I am stressed or upset. It is a coping mechanism that many people have and in my opinion a pretty productive one! So you are definitely not alone when it comes to that random cleaning urge.
