Cleaning

Lately, keeping my tiny apartment clean has become more and more important to me. I guess it’s because that’s an easy way to pretend that the new week ahead, otherwise somewhat frightening, is a new beginning. I try to find the time every weekend to organize something and make my space feel a little bit cleaner.

Yesterday I checked the expiration date on every leftover-from-takeaway ketchup and mayonnaise packet in my refrigerator and organized them in jars. Still close, of course – just not lying around the fridge anymore. I was weirdly satisfied afterwards. I take it step by step.
