‘More organised than ever’: My soul-cleansing spring clean

Ever since I was a little child, I’ve known that the rain and blossom of spring means it’s time for cleaning. I remember my grandma running around the house this time of the year, flipping mattresses and making us try on every single item of clothing we owned to see if it still fit us right.

And with that came the realisation that we had too much stuff; clothes we didn’t wear, shoes we didn’t use, and what Marie Kondo would call ‘komono’ - miscellaneous things we definitely did not need.
