My Room Reflects My Brain

I've never been diagnosed, but I'm sort of OCD about certain things. I don't like it when my food touches, and I eat my meals in a particular order usually--where I will completely consume one item before moving to the next. I like even numbers, and the number 5, because they can be easily divided. Even numbers are good because then they can be paired off in a lovely orderly way. Multiples of 5 are good, as they can be divided by 5, and 5 is great because if there were 5 people standing in a line, there would be 2 on each side, and 1 in the middle. I love symmetry. Hence, my favorite number is 8. The most symmetrical number of all.

Sometimes though, when looking in my room, one would not be able to tell that I like to keep things neat and organized. My room can sometimes get very messy and unorganized....and this is usually a reflection of how my brain is feeling at that time. When I have too many things on my mind, I don't often stop to clean my room, which leads to it looking like this:

From the doorway, looking in. Two of the messiest areas can't be seen from this angle.
(Note: my pink suitcase, a christmas sweater, and picture frame.)
(Notice the hammock, towel, and Charlotte Russe bag.)
My messy bed (Note the messed up sheets, dog-pillow, and fleece snoopy pjs.)
(Notice: Double Stuffed Oreos, Arby's and a Heating Pad.)
(Note my new pair of heels, Rudolph, and Becky's Wedding Photo)
(Notice Aladdin, and pictures of my loved ones.)
Yes, overall, it isn't actually too horrible--but this was while my grandma was helping me to clean it! When my room gets messy like this, I still know where everything is. The things closest to my bed are things that are most important. On the far wall, (by the door) are usually things that I don't want in my room anymore. So I have an organized mess! ;)
