from Make Your Damn Bed
When you deep clean your kitchen cabinets, your guests won't know what a MESS it used to be. It's invisible labor. They won't see the chaos that you had to go through to get everything to an organized place, but that doesn't take away the value of an organized cabinet. Finding a way to engage with the world productively, has been a chaotic mess of a project - but it's been worth it. I'm highly sensitive and in a world that pushes us all towards numbness, it feels like a burden. But it's not. It's part of the essential process of making a softer + more equitable world.
