Clutter core is a new trend where we're holding on to everything Not being willing to let go I'm okay with holding on to certain things In fact, later in this episode We're going to talk about maximalism The intentional use of beautiful objects Totally fine with that However, with something like this We're simply hiding the problem And worse, we're displaying the problem And pretending it's virtuous. This is creating illness in our lives It's creating not just the discontent But it's creating discontent for the people around us As well. These things, if they get in the way for you It doesn't matter what you call it It's a problem Yeah Mm!
