Solstice
Everything you own also owns you. Picture an invisible string between yourself and every item you own. Each of these strings uses some amount of mental and emotional energy to manage the relationship between you and each item. The right amount of stuff can feel grounding and helpful, but too much stuff can feel like a tangled web. The less stuff you own, the less energy you expend.
Solstice, The Earth Spirit Hearth and Home
