the quiet superpower of pretending you've always got your life together.
means The state of being neat and orderly, with everything kept in its proper place.
from From "tidy," which began life meaning "timely" or "in good condition" — built from the old word "tide" in its original sense of "time" or "season" (as still preserved in "Yuletide" and "eventide"). Something tidy was once something well-timed and seasonable; only later did the sense drift toward neat and orderly, with "-ness" added to name the quality itself.
