Seven Things Weeks 34-39

Life, don't talk to me about life. 

 I got off track for a while dealing with work and home and stuff. There was just no headspace.  Which reinforces my view that this is a game for the middle classes.  So much stuff accumulated and the time to assess it.  And while I am decluttering and I tag things "minimalism", I have a real issue with the whole minimalist movement as it is popularly portrayed. This is really about overconsumption and when I hear minimalist say things like - "if in doubt, get rid of it, you can always buy another one", or   "if in doubt and you can buy it again for under $40 then get rid of it", I get very angry. Please steward what you have better rather than throwing things away or making it someone else's problem.
