Yes, Everybody, My Life Is A Mess, Guilty As Changed, But It's An *Organized* Mess

I got my formal dress the day of formal.

I have always lived in what I call an "organized mess." What I mean by this is that sometimes I have trouble keeping my car organized, being on time, keeping things in my room in order, and being last minute on a lot of things. I like to blame it on the fact that I believe I am more abstract than the average person, and I don't live messy, instead, "freely." No matter how much clutter I feel that my life is in, things have always worked out for me.

As I got older, I started to think that this was bad and that maybe I wasn't "normal." I saw other people had their notebooks color-coded and their bed always made, but I didn't. I think the fact of the matter is that we are all a little bit hard on ourselves. A little bit of chaos is simply the way I live, and that is okay with me.

I've never been a planner, I've never been one to make sure my closet is organized, but I know how to navigate my ways, and that is fine.

While I don't condone living in a complete mess, I do condone living the way that works for YOU.

I had my sorority's formal just this past weekend, and in typical "me" fashion, I got my dress the day of. In fact, hours before. Seems crazy, but sometimes that's just the way it goes for me.

I'm a go with the flow kind of girl, and I think it's important for others to know that. It is okay to not have your life figured out every second, and it's okay if other people's ways don't work for you.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
