I feel like I'm unusually clean.
When there is dish in the sink, a crumb on the counter, or a pillow out of place.
My world in in complete chaos.
The imperfection screams at me until I fix it.
I can't seem to get any work done.
I make my bed as soon as I get out of it.
I drop everything to fold my laundry.
When things aren't in place, my day doesn't go smoothly.
When people aren't like this it makes me sick.
No one is like this.
Yet, I wouldn't have it any other way.
When things are clean.
My mind is free.
I can accomplish anything.
Nothing gets in my way.
TWO.
Today I went to get sushi with my beautiful sister, Andrea.
We had a great talk about life, family, and everything relative.
Afterwards, a tattoo was in order.
I got mine behind my left ear, and she got hers on her wrist.
Andrea and I decided that we would get matching ohm tattoos (it can also be said "aum").
Here is a little explanation of what AUM means:
The letter ‘a’ stands for the entire physical world of your experience. The experiencer, the experience and the experienced, all three of them are covered by the sound ‘a’. When you are awake, you are aware of your physical body and this physical world – known and unknown. You are also aware of the experience of the physical world. At the same time, you are also aware of the experiencer – that is you. All these three you are aware of, are ‘a’.
The letter ‘u’ is the thought world, which is distinctly experienced as other than the physical world. A thought world which is distinctly experienced, as your dream, as your imagination and as abstract or subtle, Sūkùma or subtle is represented by ‘u’. The thought world, the object of the thought world and its experience are the meaning of the sound ‘u’.
Then there is ‘m’. It stands for the experience you have in deep sleep, the unmanifest condition. What was there before and after the creation is the meaning of the sound ‘m’. Thus, the sleeper and the sleep experience, the dreamer and the dream experience and the waker and the waking experience all these three constitute what we call everything that is here. All these three together represent ‘Om’. Om is complete. We saw what existed before, what exists now and what will exist later is all Om. Even all known and unknown that is experienced, the experience and the experiencer, is also Om.

So I think what ohm really means is that we need to have more depth to us, we need to be more than skin deep. As human beings, we need to be open to anything, we should want to experience everything. This will in result in more well rounded individuals, that don't discriminate against others for their beliefs, race, or sexual orientation. Overall, making the world a better place.
