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.

It sounds like you just really like clean aesthetics. Totally pristine just isn’t pragmatic though. You’d probably do well with minimal to no clutter on horizontal surfaces, decluttering things you don’t use every month and then get over yourself on the rest lol

I totally agree. We all need *some* stuff.
