on houses - not actually about what it says...

[Lanfear57]

"Go clean your room" my father said. My mom and brothers and sisters said it too. They just don't understand. I cant just clean my room. For one, there's just too much in there that I cant let anyone see, even if they only see me throwing it away. And there's too much stuff that I just cant get rid of, either because I like the memories, or its just ingrained, has always been there and always will be. Your bedroom is the part of the house that no one is supposed to see. The living room is what matters. The place where you invite all your guests, to show what a nice place it is. They know the kitchen will be a little dirty, because its used so much to cook things up. The bathroom isn't something most people are too fond of, but every house has at least one and its necessary - you cant exist in society without it. Most people also don't go to your attic or basement, as they're more long term storage and people don't want to hear long stories about your past.
I tried telling them, but they wouldn't listen. They said a whole bunch of stuff about special people, and getting married and stuff that I'll probably never have to deal with.
"One of these days, you'll want to let somebody in. you'll want them to know that yes, you really are the neat, clean person you've been showing them for so long. You'll want them to know that you're not a fake, and for them to love you more for being so real for them, for showing them who you are behind the closed doors."


tell me what you think
see if you can figure out what its really about

I like it! Although, the way your parents tell you how important it is to clean your room seems ironicly the opposite of what it should mean, in other words, it's basicly just for the apperences in the end even tho they try to tell you by how your room will look, it will show how you truely are inside you, all they want is to make you wear a mask, and reveal what's under your mask with; an other mask ... x-x strangely, I know it makes sense (well, what YOU said, I think I'm lost in what I just wrote, hehe)

Farg. Cleaning one's room absolutely screws up the filing system that has taken months, even years, to perfect. Fight the power.
