I'm thirty now. Very recently thirty.
Along with thirty, I have a huge amount of unknown in my life. And one common thread when I don't know what I'm doing with my life, I make very poor decisions. Things that, looking back on, I would never do in my life ever if I was thinking strait.
I had one of those moments this week. The poor decision is, in fact, so poor that I would rather not share in detail. I have told only one person the details of the event and that person has been warned within an inch of their life to never repeat any of it ever. ever. ever. Also worth noting, this friend and I will be taking a multitude of things to the grave with one another... So, if you ever want to bribe me. Find out who my numero uno trusted individual is and break that person. Ha.
This makes me reflect back to a book I once read called "Perfecting Ourselves to Death." In this book there is a theory that people who are true perfectionists often have lives in disarray. This happens because when you know you can't do something perfectly, you don't do it all. One of the practical examples they gave of this is having a dirty room. You know your room can never be perfectly clean or kept up, so you don't even bother to have it clean to begin with.
For the record, my room AND car are a complete wreck right now.
