Status Updates From Whispering Rooms

“Tidying up doesn’t mean throwing away the past. Our identity and what we’ve experienced in life won’t disappear just because we choose to get rid of something. We live in the present. No matter how wonderful the past was, it’s meaningless if we aren’t putting it to good use here and now.”

“Perhaps as we interact with our things, the memories we share with them become like their soul or spirit, and it’s this spirit that I hear speaking.”

“If we start taking action instead of letting ourselves be irritated by someone else’s behaviour, the other person will begin to change. It will also help us see their strengths and weaknesses and how we can relate to them better. Maybe this applies not just tidying, but to life as well.”

“There are also books whose flavour never changes no matter how many times you read them. In fact, the flavour only deepens.”
