re: emotional health related thing
... hanging around my parents' house and looking at their vacation photos from NZ doesn't necessarily help with material desires (remember, I'm similar enough to them that some stuff they have or do really appeals to me).
I like "lagom" in theory; but when I combine having always been poor and having things out of reach for me which are accessible to others (oh boy, does that lead into my issues!); contrast of social messages that I should want all sorts of stuff *and* that I am a horrible greedy monster; and how the gentle, positive aspects of asceticism become beating myself up extremely easily; figuring out what "just enough" is becomes kinda convoluted. And it's definitely too convoluted for 3 AM, y'know?
