Interestingly, and perhaps not surprisingly, I owe any semblance of tidiness to my ex who happened to be a veteran. He was my first long term relationship (7 years wowwee) and before him I was a total mess— literally even moreso than figuratively. I have severe ADHD (which has also caused issues with depression) and had never even formed the habit of cleaning... to ANY extent. He was a very tidy man, thanks to the military, and that has influenced me greatly and continues to do so well after our relationship ended! So in a very concrete sense, I can thank a veteran, haha!!
I believe it. BMT was only six weeks when I went through in ‘97, and I’ve been Konmariing ever since 😂. A 7-year relationship is like the Stockholm Syndrome Basic Training for habits. I didn’t know Konmari was a thing until about 6 months ago, and I’m tickled by it.
Organization quiets my mind. I’m glad to hear you found relief from your ADHD and subsequent depression. 🥰 Hearing that absolutely sparks joy!
