Deep dives

Realization of Inherited Messy Habits

Growing up with humble and resilient cars like a 1998 Vauxhall Astra and a 2007 Peugeot 107, the speaker valued them for their reliability despite their aging appearances. Despite planning to own them for short periods, these 'junker' cars endured well beyond expectations. Transitioning to a new Mercedes, the speaker expected a cleaner environment would resolve their untidy habits. However, old behaviors persisted, leading to clutter in the new car, showcasing that upgrading possessions did not automatically change ingrained behaviors.
