Tearing up while reading this. I clicked this article for technical answers and ended up feeling so incredibly seen. I am stuck in all the stories and relate to it all. It felt like you had been in my head!
Thank you for setting the emotional stage behind these decisions and writing with so much empathy and compassion. Hoping we all can feel at peace in our homes. ❤️
Your article really resonates with me. Two years after downsizing from a very large home to a smaller, more compact one, i still have boxes in the garage and " project room" to unpack, and i have lost the interest in doing so. My new house feels like a never ending To Do list. Help!
It’s a catch 22 situation for me. I love to renovate houses so there’s always one more thing to do to upgrade / finish the house. But I watched ‘The GoldFinch’ recently and saw how ordered Nicole Kidman’s apartment liked - it made me want to live in a finished space. PS. The book is even better than the film

I’m so glad it made you feel less alone. I am right there with you ❤️
I love the naming of the stories we make up in our heads — as soon as we name them, they become less powerful!
Yes! Such a powerful way to both witness yourself and find a way to get some clarity from the experience in the moment.
