    The minimal furniture and a sense of free space are great for my mental health. A cluttered home to me feels like a cluttered mind. I don’t want to live in a cage of excess stuff, much like I don’t want to carry unhealthy mental baggage with me, pulling me down. You may see a sparse room, but I see freedom from sensory fatigue. I see freedom.

      i’ve been getting help these past few weeks cleaning up my room and my god, it’s so nice to just have empty surfaces! It really is like every visible item occupies space in your mind.

      though i feel like explicit decorations don’t really take up space in the same way, provided they’re placed correctly.
