“Maximalist” is my new favorite term. It invites joy and shares adventures of a life that’s been lived. It sparkles as it’s spoken and lights up the faces of those who unapologetically hold it as their truth.
Because being organized isn’t about the amount of things you have (or don’t have), it’s about the intention behind it. Our homes are a direct reflection of our inner worlds and it matters if it’s being respected. Our inner worlds, that is… and our actual stuff.
Often I hear people refer to themselves as “hoarders”. They speak with disregard, disdain, and disrespect. When actual hoarding is a mental disorder, and not simply just having a lot of things (which is perspective in itself, anyway).
I guess what I’m saying is, if you enjoy stuff, let’s have it. If you need more space in your life, let’s create it. Either way, we’ll embrace the journey of what is true for us, speak kindly to ourselves, and allow what is, to be.
