"...home"

I was reading a piece on a friend's page. Basically it went on about how some homes are cluttered...disturbed. This in response to failing structures within their lives. Conversely some are consistently tidy with few possessions, and have calm cleanliness. I have this, but still weather many the same traumas as a hoarder.

Perhaps our behaviors are unique. Our reactions to harsh events specific to just us. Above my for real home. I have deliberately made it an island of sanity. I kept it, and keep it this way to deal with trauma. In the same way others accumulate objects I let them go. ...and for the same reasons

Neither is ultimately different. They are both responses to the world as it is.
