I’ve never been the cleanest person. Would clean the common areas but my room was messy. That was the rules of my house and I was fine with it- I knew where everything in my room was, it just was always messy.

I’m now living on my own, and struggling to keep things picture perfect clean. My apartment isn’t disgusting- I take the trash out and clean the cat box and things. It’s just... disorganized I guess? Like when I go to my friends places, things just seem to have a spot. I never learned how to know where things go, so everything just seems not clean to me all the time, and then I try to find places for everything but It doesn’t stick and my place ends up looking sloppy. I hate it, I want my house to look nice! I’m just not sure how to do that.

Sorry, I know this question is dumb, but I feel like this is one of those things that by the time you’re an adult you’re supposed to just know and I just don’t.
