Overwhelmed

This is for anyone who has ever tried to be productive and just can’t. Enjoy

I flipped through Netflix for the hundredth time, not finding anything to watch. Deciding I wasn’t getting anywhere, so I just turned off the TV. I laid back in my bed, contemplating my decision.  

As I lay there, I looked around my room and noticed the piles of clothes everywhere. I hadn’t folded laundry in weeks. Sighing, I rolled over and stared at my nightstand. I had an array of books thrown about the shelves, with no rhyme or reason. I heaved another sigh before rolling over on my other side, staring at the back of my door. 

That sight didn’t make me feel any better. I noted way too many purses hanging from the hooks and from the looks of it, I’d need another hook. 

“When did I buy this many bags? And where did I even get the money?” I said aloud to no one. 

Tired of looking at all the clutter, I pressed myself up and pushed myself out of bed. I reached for the first purse I could get my hands on and go through it. There’s a bunch of receipts I should’ve thrown away ages ago, a bunch of pennies that have their color, and lots of old gum that had melted to the bottom. 

“Damit! Now I’ll have to throw this purse away.” I fished out all the pennies first before marching to the kitchen and tossing the bag. 

“I really need to get my life together,” I said to myself before slinking back to my room and returning to my bed. So much for getting my life together.
