Remember when marie kondo was, at a very base level, said "you'll probably be happier if you only own stuff you need and like, here are ways to do that in a spiritually fulfilling way" and white people were just like "so you want me to throw away my grandfathers ashes? Fuck you I'm going to live in filth and impulse buy till I go bankrupt just to spite you!!!"
except it wasn’t EVEN just “things you need,” her methodology was literally keep anything that makes you happy (or has a strictly functional purpose) like! she was like if that weird wall hanging you impulse bought sparks genuine joy when you look at it, then keep it! if it makes you feel bored or regretful or just negative in any way, give it away. the basis of the philosophy is “surround yourself with happiness” and people got MAD about it!
