Episode Synopsis
🎙️ Episode 6 Doom Piles: I Organized My Junk Drawer and Accidentally Reinvented My Identity (Episode 6) Was it just tangled cords… or the tangled truth of who I thought I had to be? 🎵 [Imaginary Opening music: a cheeky pluck of ukulele, followed by a gentle swoosh of drawer-opening SFX] Hi. I’m Angela. Queen of Focus-ish.And today… I met myself in a junk drawer. It started, as most spirals do, with a simple goal: “Let me just clear out this drawer real quick.” The drawer in question?You know the one. 6 dead pens A coupon that expired in 2020 3 random keys that belong to NO DOORS IN THIS HOUSE A tape measure And a slightly aggressive twisty tie So I started pulling things out. And labeling. And grouping.And then I found… her. Festival Me. You know her — she lives in rhinestone pouches. She carries costume glue, extra glitter lashes, and that weird-but-iconic patch you swore you'd sew onto something in 2017. And suddenly I wasn’t organizing a drawer.I was reorganizing my identity. 🔄 The Drawer Breakdown I made little piles: Tools I Actually Use Things I Feel Weirdly Guilty Throwing Away Dream Fragments in the Form of Safety Pins Items I Only Use at Burns but Cannot Part With Emotional Tape (literal and metaphorical) And then I had a moment. I realized this drawer wasn't “junk.”It was a tiny museum of all the versions of me I’ve been trying to manage. Organizer Angela.Sparkle Witch Angela.“Prepared for Anything” Angela.And “Why Do I Still Have This Business Card from 2014” Angela. Each one, still here. In this drawer.All tangled. All tender. 🎯 Identity Realignment (aka The ADHD Purge Cry™) So I paused.And I said: “Hey… thank you.”To all the selves.To the drawer.To the chaos that helped me find what actually matters. I kept the tape.I tossed the expired batteries.I lit a candle and added one single label: “Essentials & Magic” Because that's what I am.That's what YOU are. We’re not junk.We’re not chaos.We’re just layered and luminous and trying our best. 🎵 Subscribe to Doom Piles & Distractions. Next time, I attempt to clean the car and discover 3-year-old snacks and a long-lost part of my self-worth. Until then — clean the drawer.Honor your selves.And maybe… keep the glitter glue. 🐿️✨ Learn more at AngelaDiCarlo.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
