Cluttercore

Cluttercore is apparently the reactionary response to minimalism and the KonMari method.

[Edited after this point to completion; this untagged, obviously incomplete, post was discovered while writing other posts around Christmas 2023 and topped off for some semblance of completion then.]

It is probably more in line with my current state of being and upbringing than KonMari-ing, to which I aspire. Despite being separately gifted two copies of Marie Kondo's book (the irony does not escape me), I have yet to finish reading it, let alone made any progress in that direction. Quite the opposite - I have embraced Buy Nothing in my life, though am attempting to be more discriminating with the items I bring in from there, with uneven success. Hence, the trepidation I feel about exploring cluttercore, which I fear could validate my latent hoarding tendencies. My home and I remain works in progress....

To finish out this post with even more irony, I present the above photo: Festive, decidedly not spare - very much in line with cluttercore - holiday decor in the lobby I passed through while accepting a Buy Nothing gift.
