The Clash of Clean and Careless. I know I’m not alone in what this post will express, and I think it’s important to acknowledge the frustration and exhaustion that can come from feeling unheard in a shared living space. In this instance, the ongoing issue is caring versus being unbothered about living in an untidyContinueContinue reading “The Clash of Clean and Careless: Living Mindfully in a Chaotic World”
