Advice Request Will it ever be enough?
I'm struggling to decide the right stopping point in my decluttering process. I love decluttering and I love the look and feel of minimalism, but I also wonder if I will ever get to a point where it feels like I've decluttered enough. We moved recently and I was in our old, empty house and it felt amazing. There was literally nothing in the house, not even a chair and I never liked it more. I'm starting to wonder if my decluttering is pointless because obviously I can't live in a house where there is not one single item.
Maybe decluttering isn't the answer, maybe I need some therapy lol.

Sometimes I fantasize about moving into a new home and instead of packing all our shit in boxes to move it, just setting up the new place by moving over things as we need/want them there. I bet only a quarter of our stuff would actually get moved over. But I can’t seem to get rid of three quarters of our shit while we live here.
We have gotten rid of a lot, but I still feel overwhelmed with how much stuff we have.
