Less stuff and cup collection and counter clear

Less stuff: I got rid of like 1/2 my clothes now I have 1/2 as many clothes to fold. It is amazing. Cup Collection: It’s mostly usually cups and clothes ya? having a dishwasher helps A LOT if you don’t have a dishwasher that is very hard, I’m sorry. I just try to load and unload the dishwasher once a day. Cup collection time. unload dishwasher in the AM and put stuff in and run before bed (takes like 5–10 min each way). Counter Clear: I put away all my skincare after every time I use it. Bathroom counter (or vanity if you use that). Takes like 2 min and is visually helpful to not have that clutter. Extra tips: Vacuum rly quick for like 5 min every day or two (my cats make a mess so it’s easier to want to do this). Mop once a week on Fridays (I have my husband do this) House keeper comes once a month on the Friday before I menstruate and can’t do anything but be a blob And just cleans in a way I didn’t even know was possible and really just helps reset.

Remember to Spring Clean!

i feel a different kind of reset when I declutter and deep clean. the kind of cleaning where i (struggling btw) to pull out the fridge to get behind it and I’m on my hands and knees with an old toothbrush to get into the crevices unseen before but somehow has 6+months of accumulated dust & dirt. all my shelves are nice and neat with the labels pulled forward, my clothes are folded and hung identically, my carpets have been deodorized and have fresh vacuum lines, couch has been wet-vac’d, fluffed, and arranged perfectly. ceiling fans, shelves, books cases and tops of cabinet have been dusted, disinfected and wiped. All my dishes have been re-washed, the cabinets & drawers dumped out and cleaned, food sorted in toss(expired), donate, and re-shelf. Bathroom spick and span. I just love when i do a deep clean with my series of podcast, shows and music to keep me entertained in the background. I even gave both my cats a deep clean: de-shed comb through, bath, de-shed comb again, nails clipped and ears cleaned. the got the de-shed comb twice because I really did want them to trap hair on my freshly cleaned couch and carpets. my apartment smells divine with the fragrance I put on. Now for my everything shower! today (Monday=BUZY with work) hurts less since I get to go back to my spotless home and cook a nice meal with a podcast on and my cats watching me.

Starting over

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.” — Anaïs Nin This is uncharacteristically raw and personal, even for me, and pretty heavy! I know many of you have seen me posting through it and I feel safe to talk about it openly now that I’ve safely landed at the start of my new life. It’s honestly even a little bit embarrassing but I think it’s important to share. I’ve never publicly mentioned it on here, but I have a husband; as of Friday, we’d have been together for 11 years, and we’ve been married for 3 years as of 2/22. I realize now that I wanted to explore what I looked like outside of my relationship with him because I had lost that. This is why PI.FYI has been so meaningful to me as a space to express myself and connect with people—to rediscover my voice. I had been living a lie this entire time, to others but worst of all to myself. He’s been verbally and emotionally abusive, physically but without touching me, to the point that every day I spent with him I was in danger. I’ve been shrinking myself and walking on eggshells to avoid making him insecure and provoking his casual put-downs and fits of rage, while hanging on for dear life to the threads of good I could see. I’ve wanted so badly to leave, more than anything, but I felt like there was no way out and that this was just something I would need to endure indefinitely—but someone who is so very dear to me helped me see that I have wings to fly, not by acting as my savior but by reminding me of my own power. The emotional safety they built and the gentle care they showed me made me feel like I could open up to them. With their encouragement I was brave enough to tell the truth to my friends, my family, my boss, and they have received me with warm, loving and open arms and rallied to support and protect me. The financial and  logistical aspects were the most intimidating to me and it’s going to be tough for a while but I’m going to be better than okay! Now I’m opening up to you. This isn’t the only abuse I’ve suffered in my life, and my old therapist told me she believed it was my mission to share my strength and light with others to inspire them and show them that change is possible. I hope that by sharing this, I can reach even just one person who is going through something similar and show that they are not alone, and they are not weak. People with certain backgrounds may be more vulnerable to abuse, but it can happen to anyone. It thrives in darkness, shame, and isolation—and breaking that silence is the first step toward freedom. Leaving is the scariest thing I have ever done but I have so many angels around me, and I am endlessly grateful. Thank you for being here with me 💌

Never changing

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
