I totally get what you mean, and I want to offer another route to the same end: remember that your things don’t have to define you. How much of today’s commerce runs on our desire to signal parts of our personalities to other people through our stuff? Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and sometimes a piece of tech is just a piece of tech, and sometimes a water bottle is just a water bottle (says the girl with stickers all over hers).

(Also please be careful painting your plates—seems like it might be safer to just thrift cute ones than accidentally eating paint ok bye 😘)
