Clutter makes me angry. When I open a cupboard and things fall out I feel emotionally precarious. I am in a constant battle with stuff. In fact, I feel like the older I get, the more stuff I have.

Which is ironic because tidying my stuff when I’m stuffed is crucial to maintaining my mental health.
