my great grandma lived thru the great depression as a kid, and as some form of trauma response spent the rest of her life hoarding all forms of stuff- from newspapers to milk cartons. its always been so interesting to me, the relationship we have with the material world, and 3 generations on, i still find myself affected by the way my family has responded to their possessions my mom, always trying desperately to get rid of stuff, my grandmother, spending the past 20 years raking through her mother's journals, using them to chart her family history, and me, somewhere in between. trying to honour my materials without being too attached materials are weird, and being able to understand the value of the stuff we take into our homes and lives (and even being aware of the fact that our lives can go on without such things) is something i feel like a lot of people could benefit from, so good for you!!
I love this reflection. My grandmother was also a depression baby and in my next video (editing it this week) I interview her a bit and she mentions some of the impacts that her childhood and her mother's thriftiness have had on her. The history of stuff and our relationship to stuff is multigenerational. There's certainly a lot to learn from our ancestors.
This is great. I’m going through the same process right now. The less stuff, the more mental energy I have to use to maintain the stuff, the more time and freedom I’ll have.
wow. the first 4 minutes of this video had me crying in my lunch. You said what you did so beautifully and truthfully i wish i could broadcast your words to everyone who needs them. Everything you said about doors closing to open another one was profound to me and it touched me thank you
I'm so happy that this resonated and I thank you so much for sharing a few minutes of your time with me 🦋 May you always open the doors that serve you best
