Zaira sat crisscrossed in her bed, a huge sigh leaving her mouth. She was currently trying to muster up the energy to deep clean her room.
To anyone else, her room would be considered clean, but to her, it was dirty and cluttered. She just felt very overwhelmed with emotion, she didn't know why though.
But eventually, she finally got up and decided to plan out how she was gonna clean it. She sent her cat, Zuri out of the room so she could clean peacefully.
Zaira put on some calming music and started with her bed, taking her sheets, pillow cases and blankets off and in her laundry bag to wash them later.
She then went downstairs to grab a trash bag from the storage closet so she could pick up the trash around her room. After doing that she reorganized her desk and dresser and refolded all of her clothes in her drawers.
Mid-cleaning session, Zaira had to take a break because she felt herself becoming so overwhelmed with the amount of work she'd given herself to do. She was about to have a mental breakdown over this small thing.
After she'd calmed down, she went to go put her dirty clothes and bedding in the washer then came back at vacuumed her floor and dusted off her blinds and places that collect a lot of dust.
After about an hour, her clothes and bedding were done drying and she folded her clothes and put them up along with making up her bed. She then lit a candle and moved on to her closet.
Her closet wasn't as bad in her opinion to her room, it just needed to be reorganized and vacuumed. She had a small walk in closet, nothing compared to her parent's closet, they'd gotten it redone a while ago and it was huge now.
She started off by picking up clothes on the floor and determining if they were dirty or not. She folded the clothes and put them in their appropriate drawers.
Zaira then reorganized the hanging clothes by color, and alphabetical order before deciding on doing it by the type of clothes they were.
Her last task was to organize some of the boxes she kept for storage and see what was in them.
A particular box she found peaked her interest. It was small, a light pink color and it was decorated with marker and it had her name on it.
"What is this?" She asked herself, shaking the box. It was light and it felt as if nothing was in it at all.
She opened the box and saw the only thing in it was a piece of lined paper. When she saw it, she immediately recognized the box and the paper.
She took the paper out and opened it. It was a list that she'd made back when she was 18 and just graduated, it was a list of things she wanted to do before turning 21. The paper looked kind of old and had crease lines from it being folded up for so long.
When she made the list, she just got done having a breakdown about her boring life. The list was full from top to bottom with stuff, some erotic stuff and some basic stuff.

As she read the list, she noticed some of the stuff on the list was done already and some weren't.
It sparked an idea in her mind reading this list, she turned 22 two months ago and this list was supposed to be for when she turned 21.
Her mind was made up, she needed to finish the rest of the things on this.
But how? She was gonna need help with some of the stuff, obviously.
Her mind wandered to this boy she'd been talking to the past couple weeks. She met him while her and Jazi were downtown one weekend. He was cute and she was getting bored with not having anyone.
His name wasn't important because just as quick as the thought of him came, it went away and she thought of Brandon.
She hasn't spoke to him in two months nor seen him... but he was the only one who really knew her like that and the only one she would be comfortable doing some of the stuff on the list with.
Zaira finished cleaning up her closet, put the paper back in the box and took it to her room, she set it on her dresser before moving on to clean her bathroom.
When she was done with everything it was nearly 9 o'clock at night and Zoreia had already cooked dinner and gone to bed.
Zaira warmed up the dinner and ate before going to bed, thinking about how she was gonna bring Brandon back into her life to help her with this list.
