 Ok, I admit I have a bit of a problem.

 It has to do with my home. Everything I have in there is stacked from the floor to the ceiling, cluttered and unorganized. There is only a small, narrow path to walk through inside my entire house that I have to recreate every day due to the piles collapsing. Seeing the cramped nature of it all would scare off the most claustrophobic of people.

 You may think that being in a home like this would make me miserable, but that’s not the case. I don’t mind the mess. In fact, it is entirely worth living in when I’m surrounded by all the things I love.

 If only other people would understand. They want my wonderful life to change without even considering what I have to say. They think I should go somewhere else away from home for a while. I’m not fooled. It’s just a ploy to get rid of the so-called “trash” and convince me that I should make more space so I could be happy. I won’t let them do that. I won’t let them take my beautiful things away from me. Can’t they tell that I’m already happy?

 Don’t worry, though, I’m not mad about it. In fact, I took their advice to the heart. Now, to make more space, I just cut up their remains before I add them to the treasure trove they call “garbage.”

 I admit it. I have a bit of a problem, but there’s nothing wrong with that, right?

(Author’s note: II’ve written this about a year ago and I’ve tried my best to fix the issues I had at the time. I just want to know if it is good enough to post or get more advice on how to improve it. One problem I’ve had the entire time was the reveal at the end. The last person who gave me feedback was very helpful, but the advice on that part was hard for me to get without making the story seem so vague. Also, I couldn’t find a way to make it not seem like it’s silly, but I couldn’t think of anything, so advice for that would be helpful. Thanks for reading!)
