Hi! Just wanted to say I really enjoyed reading these thoughts. I also used to live out of a backpack and was averse to actually owning more things than I could put in there so I know how strange it feels to acquire ‘possessions.’ Now I have more things and more space I really enjoy seeing how things find their places/ move/ get lost/ reappear, very much like a little ecosystem.

Hi! I appreciate these thoughts so much. I went from living in a dorm and barely owning anything to living with (and then marrying) someone who owned a whole life's worth of stuff (they're 10 years older than me). We're both neurodivergent and sometimes the sheet amount of stuff surrounding us/me feels so overwhelming. Where did it even come from?? And yet somehow so much of it feels necessary? I dream of living extremely minimally within a collective space where what can be shared between many folks is and what can't I have only what I most need. I think this is a Neurodivergent thing but also something I hear across many folks my age (late 20s- late 30s). I'd love to hear more of your thoughts in the future!
