    People who are upset about Marie Kondo telling people to get rid of books are missing the whole point of her method. If books make you feel that passionate, then books spark a lot of joy & you’re allowed to keep them. It’s not about minimalism it’s about creating a joyful space.

        I love books too. I’m never gonna be a person who has one shelf. But after reading her book, I did start to realize that I was holding onto a lot of my books not because I wanted to read or use them, but because I wanted to the kind of person who had that book on my shelf.

        “Why do I still have this Griffiths Emag book?” I had to ask myself. I hated that book. I couldn’t learn from it. What I did learn from was my REA problem solver (and lectures). But I liked being a person who had a fancy physics book. Once i realized that, I felt pretty I silly.

        There’s a really good part of the book where she talks about how using her method is a process that really changes how you think, not a decluttering. She talks about how when she first developed the method she got rid of her hammer because it didn’t spark joy.

        But then one day, she really needed a hammer and didn’t have it so she had to go buy one. But after that she kept it because when she held it, she thought about how useful it was and how it served an important purpose and that brought her joy.

        Being more of a minimalist is really a side effect of the Kondo method, not the purpose. There’s a tremendous amount of power and positivity in surrounding with only things that are placed with intention. It’s about making a space that honors who you are and what you care about.

        I’m almost embarrassed at how much her book was a whole life self help book when I read it. It made me extend the idea every where, including the relationships I had with people. It’s not a coincidence that I have not used it as my mental health has declined in recently years.

        You might think it’s So Silly to thank your ratty tank top before you gently disguard... but it’s actually pretty silly how much emotional stock we put in physical items to begin with, y’all. We have so many emotions and sentiment and issues wrapped in how we view things.

        So like, do I think that my tank top actually cares that I’m thanking it? Absolutely not. But does it help me free myself from the emotional baggage I pack into the things I own? It sure does.

        Anyway that’s my rant about Marie Kondo. Bringing joy isn’t about all your things being cute or pretty or nice, it’s about learning to appreciate the purpose in the things around you to build a home that respects you.

        Idk if you've watched this show yet but I'm totally a few years away from being the woman on the second ep. Tons of clothes. A million Christmas decorations.

        Even minimalism is the same message. It's never been about fewest items, though some people do like to take it to that level.

        That’s totally fair. I think in my head minimalism is always presented as kinda having a small amount of stuff for the sake of not having a lot of stuff, but maybe it’s possible that Marie Kondo is the person who finally effectively explained minimalism to me 😂
