I generally am not a fan of stuff. It just feels as if I am borderline forced to constantly buy junk that I don't care about. and for what? We just keep buying stuff and all this stuff accumulates and I just want to Marie Kondo away most of my stuff

Every now and then though, I find things that look like they just feel, good. What does that mean? Well, upon seeing it, it makes me imagine a life with them, maybe something I actually want to live with it. I want to come home to it, and use it day in and day out.

This year I've had to enter the world of durable medical equipment (helping take care of my aging mother). Sit-to-stand recliners, adjustable beds, walkers. It's all pretty ugly, even the high end stuff, certainly none of it "sparks joy." Similarly, I imagine with kids there's a certain amount of stuff you just have to get.
