The Dirty Dish
I'll never forget the day I realized I had a problem.
The smell was overwhelming - a pungent mix of rotting food and decay, and it was coming from my kitchen.
It started with one dish, left in the sink after a late-night snack. But one dish turned into two, and before I knew it, I had a mountain of dirty plates, bowls, and utensils. I was faced with a dilemma: how to tackle the mess I had created?
I looked at the dirty dishes and felt overwhelmed. I knew I had to wash them, but I didn't want to. So I put it off, thinking I'd do it later. But "later" turned into days, and the dishes started to smell. The smell was not very strong at first, but it got worse and worse.
As the days turned into weeks, more dishes piled up. I had meant to wash them, but I kept putting it off. Now, the sink was full of dirty plates, bowls, and utensils. The smell was very bad, and I knew I had to do something.
But washing all those dishes seemed like a big job. They were hard and crusty, with food stuck to them. I stood there, looking at the mess, feeling overwhelmed. How had I let it get this bad?
I thought about why I had put off washing the dishes. I had been busy with school and other things. But that was no excuse. I should have made time to wash the dishes.
As I looked at the dishes, I realized that putting things off had led to this mess. If I had washed the dishes when they were still clean, I wouldn't have this big job now.
I took a deep breath, rolled up my sleeves, and got to work. I turned on the water and started washing the dishes, one by one. As I washed each dish, I felt a little better. The smell started to fade, and the sink began to empty.
But it was hard work. I had to scrub hard to get the food off. My hands were sore, and my back ached from standing at the sink for so long. I wanted to stop, but I knew I couldn't. I had to finish the job.
Just when I thought I was done, I saw one more dish hiding behind a stack of plates. It was the worst one of all, with dried-on food and a bad smell. I groaned, but I knew I had to wash it.
I scrubbed and rinsed, and finally, it was clean. I finished washing the dishes, exhausted but proud. I had faced my dilemma and overcome it.
From now on, I vowed to wash my dishes immediately, no matter how much I didn't want to. It was a small task, but it made a big difference. My kitchen was clean, and I felt happy.
I learned that putting things off only makes them harder, and that facing your problems head-on is the best way to solve them. I put away the last dish and took a step back to admire my clean kitchen. It felt good to have a fresh start.
I knew that I would always have dirty dishes to wash, but I also knew that I could face the task with confidence.
Mistakes are made, lessons are being learnt from the mistakes thank God you now know how to tackle it when next you sense that. If it happens again and you couldn't resist it has generally becomes Ur habit
Thank you sir @landlord7 for your contributions and response.
That has happened to me on several occasions too Bro, I'll pile up the plates with the intention to wash later then later becomes tomorrow until tomorrow becomes next and so forth.
This days I hardly live a plate unwashed because I know what will happen if I begin to pile them up..
Oh yeah you have transited from that habit already. It's a good thing sir. Thank you sir.
