it's impossible to clean it all.... there's too much stuff, too many piles of junk stacked in piles in every room. the dust comes back every day and it's filthy all over again.

whenever I go somewhere really clean and bright, I feel uncomfortable.... because it gives me this intense feeling that I'm too filthy and low quality to be there because this is where I come from

to give you an idea of just how bad it is here, a year ago or so the fire department had to intervene. they said our house is severely unsafe to live in and that we had to fix it or get out.

my mother refused to get rid of anything but she met the bare minimum requirements by renting a storage unit to put some of it in. of course as soon as they were off our back she broke all the rules all over...
