What I forget to understand is that every time, say, a hoarder acquires something, it is the hoarder aspiring to a fresh start, away and apart from the unfulfilled and unattended to projects from before, etc. What is bad for her feels good — like intending to upcycle an old notebook, , and what’s good for her feels bad — like a “wasteful” indiscriminate discarding of items. That pretty much sums up vicious cycles, or cycles in general, yes? Because there really isn’t such a thing as feeling good and feeling bad all the time. It’s that secret inter-mix that keeps us going, or stuck, depending on how we frame things.
