La Chambre Négligée

Ok, the french title is to basically glamourise the unglamorous, I have a horrible secret about myself. I'm bloody untidy– yes eek I confess, my room is something that is reminiscent of a teenager rather than an adult on the bridge of her 24th year on this planet 😳.

But to get to the root of this rather embarrassing truth about myself, I must also admit that I've never been a particularly tidy person. Ehem– just ask my rather disappointed mother. LOL. But instead of progressing as I grew older, I've just well– not... okay I lie I'm no way as bad as I was when I was 15. But I'm not at the standard I think a almost 24 year old should be either.

I mean, I would love to know how clean and tidy everyone else's space is, maybe I'm not that bad and I'm literally comparing my standard of clean and tidy to pinterest images?  The odd thing about me, is I love organisation. I absolutely love having my computer desktop clean and tidy everything in their files. My diary is always up-to date, my emails are always read and replied to on time– so why can't I keep other shit together?

Maybe it's because I don't especially enjoy my space? My bedroom isn't just only where I sleep, it's also where I work and though it's not by any means a cupboard room, I still feel like with what I would like to do it could be a teeny weeny bit bigger. Not that I have the money, my bedroom project has been stalled until further notice. But, I don't think this is one of my underlying reasons why I can't keep my room tidy.

Another possible reason could just be pure laziness, who wants to stack and fold clothes when you can dump them on the designated clothes chair, right?  Another reason could be my small little thing called depression, I don't like to dwell on it, but there are days when I can't be bothered with anything.

I would adore if my desk could actually just look this picture taken three years ago when it actually looked like something out of pinterest:

However to be frank my desk never looks like that, most of the time my desk looks like this: 

And in all honesty I can't be the only 20 something that can't get their shit together, can I? Somebody has to be just as untidy as me? And if I'm the only untidy person, what advice would you give me to pull it together?

*Also I never said I was a grimy person...just untidy OKAY!
