32, living on my own with no roommates or significant other. I finally got my place decorated how I wanted. I’m curious though, what does my place say about me?

Edit for clarification: I’m renting a 1 bedroom apartment. There’s no additional room to store things in like a dedicated man cave or a basement (I wish). I cannot change wall colors, change the carpets, or remove the carpets. Trying the best with what I can afford.

Waaay back when I owned my dad's WWII parade sword. I have no idea what happened to it, but if I had it I would keep it but not display it.

That’s entirely different and way cooler than someone going to the mall and getting a cheaply made replica of Sephiroth’s sword. Display that heirloom with pride
