Seeing people online or on tv, it’s like looking at a house.
The outside can sometimes be this gorgeous home, and maybe on the inside it is too.
Hell, maybe even the foundations are sturdy and it really is just as great on the outside as it is on the inside.
But maybe this gorgeous house is faltering, maybe there’s mold. It’s easy to over look when the rest is so pretty.
Though, maybe, the house doesn’t look so great on the outside. Not eye catching at all. And on the inside it’s just as unappealing.
It’s a mess, it’s not pretty, or even nice.
It simply looks like chaos just threw up.
However, if we look closer…
We see that, while maybe the dishes aren’t done, underneath the mountains of toys in the living room, the carpet is cleaned and vacuumed.
Maybe the clothes in the master bedroom aren’t put away, but the tiny little clothes in the laundry basket have been neatly folded and organized in their drawers.
And while the front lawn looks like a jungle, the back yard has been mowed and toys ready for playing, a hammock set up to sway and relax.
The home has been used, reused and used again, and it looks like it. It’s been damaged and covered up and had shitty repairs. (Me too house, me too.)
There isn’t a foundation, it moves and shakes with the wind or the tumbling of the dryer.
But if you look closely, you’ll see that the house is a mess because the happiness of the children inside it, matter more than the dishes in the sink, the appearance, or the judgment of others.
What type of a house are you?
