    I used to cycle 40km a day to get to work, do solid work hours with no distractions, get praised by my boss for my efforts, come home and spend quality time with my ex, and we’d clean the whole damn apartment every Saturday morning, basking in the afterglow of the shining surfaces for the rest of the weekend where we’d go for nice hikes or watch movies.

    I work from home now, where I work longer hours because I’m watching cartoons at the same time which splits my focus, developing health problems because of my lack of exercise, and my lonely apartment is in dire need of TLC because of this one simple fact about myself:

    I need structure, and an audience. I crave it. I will happily clean, but never for myself. Those people who join cults for a sense of purpose and belonging? I’m their #1 customer.

      I believe you. Sounds rough but hey, feel free to clean for us and then me what some people in old reddit worldpolitics sub after it became /b do is post about their day. This way rest of us can keep you accountable. The ex part may have some stuff to do with it but gl with that part. Shit hurts and drive ppl of the walls
