I am a kind and caring person and I never want my friends and family to feel badly about themselves. In fact, I always want them to be able to look at my stash (or kitchen or livingroom, etc.) and be able to feel GOOD about themselves. I want them to be able to think, "Wow, I thought my stash (home) was a mess, but compared to this, I'm doing great!". This is a sacrifice I gladly make for my friends and family because I care about them so very much.
