A Small Mistake

I didn't do my chores today like I was supposed to. I told myself I'd start early but somehow ended up getting lost in old memories of us together, before everything fell apart. Cleaning the house felt like a chore, a reminder that it's just me now, alone with my thoughts. I kept thinking about how you always said 'clean your room and put away your toys', I know you meant more than just literally cleaning up. But today, I failed at both, didn't clean anything. It feels like a step back, a relapse into old habits I thought I'd left behind. I feel guilty for breaking that promise to myself.
