Help, I got spoiled with space! 😭😅
Hi!
You ever get so overrun with stuff that you start looking for ways to hang things on your walls?
That’s where I’m at right now.
I’ve hung hooks next to my closet. Hooks behind the bedroom door. Hooks next to those hooks too, because I gotta have as many goddamn hooks as I can manage.
That wasn’t good enough, though. So I started hanging clothes two layers deep like I was trying to fully soundproof the room.
I even bought a few vacuum sealed bags so I could cram clothes under the bed.
And still after all that, I’m sitting next to a pile of boxes that each have the same words written on them.
“Master Bedroom - Clothes.”
It’s like they’re mocking me. Watching me and snickering while I’m trying to stuff as many shirts as I can into a drawer.
I’m still not entirely sure where this is all going to go. And I’ve already had to make too many choices.
Some were easy, thankfully.
Thick, warm, winter stuff - that can get vacuum sealed and put away. It’s getting warmer so I won’t need those for a while.
But some decisions are tougher. Like the clothes that doesn’t quite fit anymore but I’m this close to being able to wear again. Do I keep it accessible or am I just kidding myself?
Then there’s the lingerie and sex costumes. I’d love to say that goes right in the front of a drawer so I can grab them easily when the libido hits and it’s time for a horny late-night married fuckfest.
Or am I just kidding myself?
I keep looking at the room, measuring every exposed wall, and trying to come up with new ways to tuck things away without making it feel super cluttered. But I just can’t figure it out.
And yeah, some of it is kind of my fault.
Like, maybe the king-size canopy bed is a bit much. But it’s cozy, roomy, and makes me feel like a princess so it’s a non-negotiable.
And sure, there’s a mini-fridge in a corner of the bedroom. But there are a lot of hungry people in my house and sometimes I just need to lock the bedroom door and snack privately.
Plus, it’s cute. And it kind of doubles as a nightstand, so there.
Besides, the real problem isn’t the fridge - well, not exactly. It’s that I got spoiled with space and now I don’t have much of it.
For the last five years, I lived in a place that gave me enough room to stretch out.
I had tons of room to stow away all the stuff I was using and keep the things I might need at some point. I could keep my essential photography gear out instead of putting it away after every single shoot - lights, tripods, the whole shebang.
All the sex toys I reviewed had a place. The sex furniture was there whenever I felt like getting bent back, getting wobbled, or feeling like I was getting eaten out on a big foam throne.
My lingerie could be just as accessible as my lounge clothes. I didn’t have to dig if I wanted to dress up like Alice to get spanked and screwed. I could pick out a fun wig to get fucked in if I felt like it.
But now that I’ve downsized my living space, I’ve realized that having all that room meant not having to make a lot of choices.
You don’t have to get rid of any clothes, even if you haven’t worn it in a bit.
It’s okay to have 18 dildos, a dozen wand vibrators, and more lube bottles than you can count.
You can have more than one sex machine because there’s plenty of room in the closet and who knows, you might want to Eiffel Tower yourself someday.
I used to want to be a minimalist so badly. I was jealous of the clean, smooth, spacious aesthetic that came with it.
I’d also binge-watch tiny home tours and tell myself I could totally live like that. With a few creative solutions and a Murphy bed, I wouldn’t actually need a whole lot.
But I have to face the fact that it’s just not me.
Even though all these unpacked boxes are giving me hella anxiety right now, I find it pretty comforting to have stuff.
Adding to my little DVD collection makes me feel really good - a lot better than getting rid of them would.
Being able to dress up on a whim instead of wearing the same stuff all the time helps me feel cute and happy.
Stocking up on food staples and emergency supplies makes me feel calmer and safer.
I have zero regrets about buying a cotton candy machine and it makes me giddy knowing I can spin some flavored floss whenever I want to.
And you can pry my 18 dildos from my cold dead hands.
I know I’ll adapt eventually.
I’ll slowly get unspoiled with space and learn to be a little more choosy about what stays. I’ll find room for all the essentials. I’ll pare down here and there so it all stays manageable.
In time, this home will be super cozy.
But right now, it just has walls covered in skirts and sweaters
Love,
Emma ❤
