She's not right about everything. Okay she did revolutionise some of my drawers but she has a 30 book rule doesn't she? I don't think 30 books is usual for most people....or maybe she said she was happy with 30.Marie Kondo has been advised...im already very familiar with her method and have used it before. What blocks the sorting process is mostly an emotional one, after some meditation it became pretty obvious.
I'm not clear on your meaning, do you mean you feel self loathing at getting rid of them or keeping them?All of this can be sorted in therapy of course but what I asked Yi was about the extreme anger, self loathing and pain I feel about the old art and journals I keep. For much of my life I have been severely mentally unwell, unable to finish any art pieces, sprawling thoughts, and its all such a mess. It would be so nice to just burn or throw out some of the irritating flotsam, but sentiment gets in the way.
I asked Yi
"Why do I feel such anger and attachment over my journals and art?"

Your mother may have over-reacted to her mother, and now you get to react to it again. Lucky you (not really), but maybe you'll be the one to find a happy medium.I suspect some complex beliefs in play through generations...grandmother being a hoarder, mother used to throw out all my things and fuss about us having too much "junk," etc.
I like that.Maybe its a don't throw the baby (dream and notebooks) out with the bathwater (everything else that's been lost) sort of thing.
All things are complete in Dao, Zhuangzi (13:6)
Dao is not exhausted in the great
Nor is it lacking in the small
Thus all things are complete in it.
So vast, so expansive
There is nothing it does not contain.
So deep, so profound
How could it be fathomed?
Good will and morality
Are mere trifles to the spirit
Yet who but the perfected man could know this?
(not sure about the number of the verse. I found it as a quote, but could not find it back in Zhuang Zi)
Here no danger, like in 35.4.
The way to go on and on, in spite of all those drawbacks, is to be true to yourself, and to everyone, everything, you encounter. Like growing plants, they can overcome most obstacles by relentlessly going on being themselves, sending a tiny root through a tiny crack, growing around a stone, simply going on and not letting anything stop them.
