is it okay that I’ve surrounded myself with so much STUFF? is accumulation always greed? where is the line between excess and simply nesting/ living in a home? is it just a luxury to have the space to store things for repurposing and reusing (ie jars, scraps for art, hobbies of the past — and hopefully the future— once adulthood/capitalism settles down)? or is this actually good for something?

i used to be very minimalistic in my teen years, everything had to have it's own place and be perfectly organized or i'd start twitching (something undiagnosed, probably. it's fine.) somewhere along the way i started to get very sentimental with my things, i think it came with the thrifting addiction. realizing how much value all those things have and how many lives they lived before i found them is just really interesting to think about. the things you keep says a lot about you, and what better form of expression than filling my space with things that i love and feel connected with? colors and textures that bring me peace? the world is a disaster so keeping small things to spark joy is crucial!!!

Buying in bulk or even what is considered a normal size is presumptuous. What if you move? What if you travel? What if you get that thing as a gift or see a different brand you want to try, a sale online, a new scent/flavor? Then, what, you have a big pile of the same crap taking up precious space in your home?

As a person who leans toward hoarding (I dj and have like 3k records and it’s taking over my apartment but I can’t stop bc I view myself as a “collector”) this video essay super thought provoking. I’ve brought it up in every small talk convo I’ve had in the last week

both iCal— and I’m a big fan of multiple shared calendars. I have one with my sister, my mom, my partner, my bestie and one for myself. really helpful organizing plans with people and keeping track of far out dates like vacations and concert tickets.
paper planner- for weekly and daily todo lists. finding where i can fit in x3 things to do daily based on what time allows for that day. and of course adding stickers and doodles with pretty markers. I use one from Shorthand.
