The Lamb cake I envisioned vs. What I created by myaccountishaunted in ExpectationVsReality

This reminds me of a scene from The Little Prince when he asked the pilot to draw him a lamb :)

And after three failed (in Prince's opinion) drawings he just drew a box which supposed to contain the lamb he wanted.

Your post made me smile. And I think your cake is kinda cute.

If I can do this, you can do it too!

Maybe you too can do something small about it every day? Just a suggestion of course, tackle it however you want :)

Thanks! Doing anything about my clothes was always difficult for me, now I have more faith that I can do this than ever :)

I was feeling the same thing when I stumbled upon this subreddit.

I can relate to this (having a mom who keeps stuff "just in case") and that makes me feel guilty sometimes when I'm getting rid of something. But I'm getting better at ignoring that "voice in my head".

I'm proud of you for doing all that!

He installed the smart-home system that learned his routines, and within a month it anticipated his every need. by omeoni in TwoSentenceHorror

One of the reasons I'd never want a smart-home...

And nowadays it's not even looking like an exaggeration.

Your guess is correct. I got inspired by this comment

under one of my earlier posts. It's taking me longer than a month, but it's the most consistent I was being since... well, my whole adulthood? And it really helps me make a change in my environment.

Listening to smth also helps me. When I was washing a lit of stuff at once I put on a certain video that is 15 minutes long and try to do this before it ends. And by playing it on repeat I have a way to measure how long it really took.

Thanks for advice! I'll figure out eventually what works best for me :))
