Fixing My Life One Ikea Box at a Time

“Hey Karen, why does organizing things make you so happy?”

Well, is there a more powerful visual metaphor than going from this…
The contents of a cupboard scattered on the floor. There are boxes upside down, piles of debris, and even a pair of red sandals.

…to this?
A dark wood cupboard with the doors open. Inside are white an orange boxes stacked neatly. Everything is precise and tidy.

The world may be chaos, I may have no control over my future employment, but by god I can PUT THINGS IN BOXES and LABEL THEM. So I did.
