Today is my day after perfect. I was on a blogging roll. Then yesterday happened. The cold has struck my house, again, for what feels like the bazillionth time in 6 months. I am also playing catch up with my college math homework. Plus trying to finish reading a book for my History class paper. Once 6 o’clock hit I made the conscious decision to not write a blog, and to give myself grace about it. It doesn’t mean I have to scrap the whole thing.

I know that sounds dramatic, but we’ve all done that with something or another. I run with that thinking all the time. So welcome to my blog, Surviving The Laundry: a sort of exposure therapy to battling Perfectionism and the anxieties that come with it.

Truthfully, it feels a little bit freeing letting a link be broken in those chains of perfection. Maybe through this exercise in blogging I’ll be able to slowly chink away at the chain that I’ve used to keep my creativity firmly locked up. I told myself it was the “safe” way, but it’s such a regrettable way to live. Time to let go and dive in.
