the love you take

"Every vice was once a virtue, and may become respectable again, just as hatred becomes respectable in wartime" --Will Durant

on the side of my bed there seems to be a continual pile of my books and my clothing. no matter how much i try to get rid of it, it is always there. clutter! clutter makes us feel safe. safety can equal stagnation and lead to rancidity and bogginess. i have too many clothes. or not enough proper storage space. also, i leave cabinet doors open and i leave the door of the microwave open all the time. it bothers me to close it. i have a phobia. i slam things. people ask me to stop, but i am not aware that i am slamming things. i pound my feet when i walk. i eat way too much bacon. i'm sure there's more.
