my mom wishes this would've happened YEARS ago
I've become one of those people who has to have the bed made. For years this was not the case, as one might gather from the title, but it's finally happened, and this gives me hope that maybe one day I'll be one of those people who always hangs up/puts away their clothes, too. This is a fairly new realization, though. I was running late on Monday, so I didn't stop to make the bed like I've been making an effort to do since the beginning of the year. At the time it bothered me, leaving the house with the bed unmade, and it REALLY bothered me after I got home as soon I went upstairs and saw the messy bed. Even with all the clutter on the floor by my side of the bed, the room looks somewhat put together as long as the bed is made, but with the sheets and quilts all rumpled and the pillows tossed on it haphazardly, it was a very disquieting picture, and that's when I realized that I never want to leave the house with the bed unmade again. Too bad this didn't occur to me when I was a teenager.
