Showing Original Post only (View all)OK, I have HAD it with minimalist shaming!!!! I love my stuff! [View all]
I am sick to death of being told that I need to throw out all my stuff before I die.
No, I don't!!! I just have to have a PLAN (I.E. a will!!)
Anything of value, will go to someone I will name who can keep it or sell it.
The rest will be donated.
Yeah, my heirs will have to box it up, or hire someone to do so, but you know what?
They can suck it up, because they'll be getting $$ from the sale of my house, other funds I have, or the stuff of value that I have.
I am from now on going to enjoy the stuff I have, because I enjoy it!
My books, my art, my records and CDs, DVDs, my collectibles, my Great-Grandmother's china, and my great-great grandmother's quilts.
Maybe I don't use them on a daily basis, so what?
Knowing that they are there (on display) and seeing them makes me happy.
Fuck Marie Kondo and all the rest!!!
Stop telling folks they can't keep what makes them happy!
(This is NOT about the mental disease of hoarding, that is something else entirely. This is about the "live in a sterile hotel room" shit that keeps getting preached by these so-called "experts" that want you to hire them to do Swedish Death Cleaning).
