The 6 Stages

This Coquelicots Ceramic Bath Ensemble may seem simple enough. It’s 6 100% ceramic products with matching designs: a toothbrush holder, a tumbler, a soap dish, a lotion dispenser, a tissue box, and a trash bin. None of these things require much explanation. What does deserve some attention, though, is the multi-stage process that one goes through when deciding to buy one or all of them. We’ve laid it out below:

Stage 1: Intrigue
These are interesting. The various pieces look stylish, and they all match. It might be nice to have a motif that really brings the entire bathroom together.

Stage 2: Skepticism
But do I really need any of these? The old coffee mug we put the toothbrushes in works just fine, as does the little wicker basket we’ve got for trash. The sink already has a built-in soap dish. This one would be easier to clean, but do you really need to clean something when all it does is hold soap? Isn’t soap itself essentially the concept of cleanliness made solid? Lotion bottles already come with a pump top and tissue boxes are their own tissue dispensers, really. Am I supposed to re-package things? Isn’t that adding unnecessary steps?

Stage 3: Re-evaluation
Yes, I guess technically it is adding unnecessary steps, but all in the service of style. And maybe that’s worth it. Which would maybe mean the steps aren’t unnecessary?

*Stage 4: Introspection
And what does it say about me that I’m so put off by these objectively simple tasks? Like, it isn’t hard to empty some lotion from one thing into another thing. It isn’t hard to put a box of tissues inside another box. Or clean a soap dish. Just like it isn’t hard to put a new bag in the garbage after I take the trash out. But I never do, not right away at least. I always wait hours, sometimes even a whole day, leaving paper towels and granola bar wrappers on the kitchen counter, until finally my desire for a clean surface outweighs my laziness. At which point I put a new bag in the garbage can and am reminded that the laziness was all to avoid something that takes mere seconds. And yet, when next I need to take out the trash, this process will repeat. Making matters worse: someday it might not just be taking out the trash. Someday it might be dirty diapers I’m dealing with. It might be taking kids to the doctor. It might taking the medication I need to stay alive. And when that time comes will I just attempt to put it off? I want to say no, that I’ll be past all of this by then, that I’ll finally be a responsible organized adult… but an I’m adult now, damnit! I should already be better than this!

Stage 5: Ascension
That’s it! No more! I’m going to buy every item in this Coquelicots Ceramic Bath Ensemble, not just because it’s stylish and will tie my bathroom together nicely! No, that’s all secondary. Really, I’m doing it to prove to everyone–but especially myself–that I’m capable of taking the right steps and building good habits! New me, here we come!

Stage 6: Regression
Purchase made! Now, it’s time for bed. Shit, wait? It’s trash day tomorrow, isn’t it? I should take the bin to the curb. Although, there really are only a couple bags in there. I’m sure I’d be fine until next week…
