You don't have a hundred feet, so you don't need to have twenty pairs of shoes, just as you don't need to "have a lot of everything."
Your home doesn't have to be as complete as a catalog.
She needs to be at peace with her now.
The culture of “having it all” entered the home like an invisible avalanche.
We were taught that a ready house is one where nothing is missing, and what does it mean to be missing nothing?
But no one told us that, when trying not to lack anything, we fill ourselves with things we don't need, fill our eyes with noise, fill the corners with excess —
and empties the soul.
You need solid ground and room to walk.

It's not an attack on beauty. It's an invitation to sincerity.
Instead of forcing what is “right,” choose what is true.
Sometimes what's missing isn't just another piece of furniture.
It's silence.
Sometimes what's tight isn't the house.
It's the expectation.
Because discomfort does not reside in the lack of things,
lives in the comparison we make with what we see out there.
With houses that look like scenery.
With kitchens that never get dirty.
With shelves that don't read, they only display.
But your house is not a stage.
It's shelter.

And no matter what they say, you don't need to have everything.
You can have just the essentials.
Or just what brings you joy.
Or just what fit in the moving van.
Or just what's left after the last storm.
Your home is a story, not a showcase.
And stories are made of choices, of memories, of spaces left on purpose.
Your sanctuary only needs a clean corner,
a light entering,
and your body in there, breathing fully. And speaking of a clean corner, let's be honest, do we really need to have so many cleaning products? That's the next post.
