No Buy Week #25: WHY did I buy all this? A Radical Display of Everything I was Influenced to Buy

Right so this is another one for my own exposure therapy, confronting everything I didn't need to buy but bought anyway because I was so sucked into social media and the aspirational content and the idea that I could buy a piece of that life and aesthetic too, without doing the inner work to FEEL that life and aesthetic (happy, calm, put together...) on a regular basis. If you have to skip it because of all the STUFF, no hard feelings. Hope to see you in the next one.
