I used to be like that too tbh. I’m still sentimental, holding onto mementos tied to certain memories, but now I’m doing it selectively! Having unnecessary objects around just adds to the clutter in my head... I truly believe that if your home is organized, it helps smooth out the process of clearing your mental space too. I also completely agree with what you said about home not being defined by objects and decorations but by the people you share it with and the peace you bring into it.

Hmm..one thing I want to declutter is actually not my home but the thousands of tabs I have open on my computer and phone-- which I deemed necessary to remind me to finish some writing ideas that I tend to forget to set reminders for. But most of the time, I find that I have already completed those tasks, yet the tabs are still there, crowding and slowing down my browser!
Thank you for the thoughtful and insightful piece, dear Yana. ❤️ I better close those tabs now. 😁
