Survey #236 Full Response from Suzanne
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Describe a collection or category of items in your home that you’re worried might have crossed over into “too many” or “too much.” | Definitely art supplies. A lot of aspirational extra paint colours and painting gadgets all purchased after I had taken up painting but had already stopped. And drawing supplies as well. And art books on the cheap. And all of these have ended up somewhere in the house. |
| For the category or collection described above, what factor(s) contribute to your assessment of the stash as excessive? | I’ve stopped practicing all hobbies and taken up half-hearted puttering and decluttering as a sometimes hobby. I sometimes want to start reaching for them or suddenly want to draw and I can’t. |
| For the category or collection described previously, what would you consider a reasonable limit? Your answer may take the form of a precise number, a volume of space, a budget, a time commitment, or any other metric that makes sense to you. Optional: Explain how you arrived at this answer. | Reasonable should have been to stick with acquiring just basic supplies and to use them while learning and discovering if I actually wanted to continue. Result was as I acquired supplies I, in equal measures, stopped practicing and enjoying art. |
| Describe something that you keep in your space because it reminds you of a better time in your life or a fond memory, even though you might otherwise consider it unnecessary or excessive. | Can’t think of anything - whatever I’m aware of having I still love or still believe it has a place in my future. |
