minimalism

I know many of you here are aesthetic maximalists but there is something to be said about the joy in owning and consuming less. there is freedom (financial freedom, freedom from advertising, freedom of thought, freedom of movement) in minimalism. I don't think minimalism is a sparsely decorated room with white walls, I think it is owning just enough to feel prepared and joyful, finding the color in your life outside of the ownership of personal objects and moreso in the use of your resources for experiences, minimizing superfluous distractions, and using things until they are unusable. I fail every day at my own ideology but here's to trying. And now a Marx quote! "The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt—your capital. The less you are, the less you express your life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life and the greater is the saving of your alienated being."

maximalism

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!!!

packing up trinkets and lotions

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?
