Minimalism is Crap
Also, it's almost exclusively for rich people. Let's talk about it.
I like stuff, and I'm a sentimental person, so you bet your ass I'm keeping that pretty rock I found on the side of a highway in 2018. Nothing you say can stop me.

I think about writing more than I write, but call myself a writer as opposed to a thinker.

A Look at Dead Poets Society
THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO AVOID THIS MOVIE BEING SPOILED, TURN BACK NOW. Yes, that's right. I had never seen Dead Poets Society before last night, despite one of my English professors playing a small role in its creation, which made me want to see the movie even more over the past 5 years. He taught an Introduction to British Literature class during my junior year of college. He was one of three English teachers who worked at the private school where the movie was filmed at the time, and he was the 'standing on the desk' guy. I know what you're thinking, yes, he stood on the desk during both the first and last class we had with him. He was also a wonderful professor. I thought it was so cool because even though I hadn't seen the movie, I had heard about it, and I loved Robin Williams. For anyone wondering, he said Robin was a fantastic, down-to-earth man.

I agree about the stuff to a point. Some days I wake up and the stuff just gotta go. So they are donated. Then the thrift/goodwill gets a visit. You find the coolest stuff hidden in corners there. Be careful the stuff monster doesn't come get you one dark night.
I guess I’m much the same and have to agree to an extent. I’m very sentimental and like to hold onto stuff sometimes though it’s a little impractical. Also I would never EVER be able to fit into my year 8 clothes 🤣those are long gone many decades ago! Also Ashley, now you need to show us pics of said nick knacks so you can tell us the stories! Bam! Next article right there!☺️
I agree with you completely! A paradox isn't it - the richer you are, the less Stuff 🤔 I hadn't thought of it before, but you're right 🤔
