A male coworker (a doctor, no less), who I know pretty well but is not a close friend, came up to me when I was pregnant and put his hand on my belly. Once he removed it and stepped back, I placed MY hand on HIS stomach, and stared him uncomfortably in the eyes. “How does this feel to you? Is this weird to you?” Apparently it was, because he apologized profusely for 2 months, and when his cousin came to the US to visit and came to the office, the first thing she asked him was, “Is this the pregnant woman you awkwardly laid your hand on?”
Me, leaving my friend’s apartment with his load tightly clenched in my ass to go get a DNA test done to see if his questionable girlfriend really is pregnant with his child:
Honestly the best part about this post
So I started doing this with some candles my sister gave me, and y'know what happened?
Because I used the candle, realised how much I liked my house smelling nice. So, i did more to fill my house with nice smelling stuff. I bought reed defusers, I bought flowers (which I stopped doing cause they smell quickly), I cared more about making sure my bins were empty and my sink was clear. I also developed more of a sense for what smells I did like. Like, I prefer woody smells. Incense and sandlewood.
And I realised how nice my house looked when it was clean. So I made more of an effort to clean my house. And cleaning never felt like a chore because I only cleaned when I wanted to.
And because I was cleaning my house more, I made decisions that helped to keep the house clean more often. I found homes for the loose things that never had a home before. I started remembering where things were because they were usually in their homes. I found or bought things to put things in.
It was hard because I'm not good at it, but slowly I developed those skills and got better at it. I realised how little pride I had had in my own home, and sought out new reasons to be proud. I bought things to put on my walls. I just bought myself a rug this week. I might even invite people over.
Anyway, just saying that maybe enjoying the small, fleeting things, is more important than we expect.
