I grew up in a house that, in retrospect, I would not call "clean" or "well-kept"
but I didn't realize ~how~ bad my childhood home was until my late 20s and how it was skewing my perception of how I treated my own space
so over the past couple of years, I have spent SO MUCH TIME taking notes on other people's apartments and watching cleaning videos like I'm learning how to adult for the first time 😂
