Despite being infected with sentimentalism, COVID-19 made me start thinking seriously about my material possessions. I quickly came to the conclusion that I didn't need most of the stuff I had laying around and of that stuff, I didn't even truly want all of it.

It's really simple. Even if you mess up, it will actually still work.
