one lonely success

in my 30+ plus years on the planet i’ve learned a lot of things that could save the less experienced from the sort of thing that will piss off your life.

today, i’m starting a new series of posts entitled “one lonely word of wisdom“. i’ll use this series of posts to share a few of the pearls of wisdom that this roller-coaster-affair of a life has taught me.

one lonely word of wisdom #327:

at some point in your life you’ll find yourself renting an apartment that is too small for all of your belongings (read: shit).

undoubtedly, you will turn to the sub-standard-sized cabinet above your refrigerator to store items that “have no home“.

today’s 1LWoW is this—while the bastard-cabinet of the kitchen is a good place for your unwanted items (read: shit) avoid storing the scented candles you bought b/c your ex-girlfriend liked having grown-up-time amidst the subtle fragrance of lavendar in the bastard-cabinent. doing so will guarantee that all of the worthless items in that cabinet will forever be impregnated w/ the smell of lilac, jasmine, etc.

you’ll thank me later.

…and yes i used the words “grown-up-time” and “impregnated” in the same blog post.
