I decided to brighten my Friday evening and check Ruby's goodreads. Good lord. This is a joke, surely?
Her review of "The House Without Windows":
"One of the best books I've read. Written by a 12 year old girl, this is an ode to nature and all of the beauties we overlook every day. I don't usually give in depth reviews on goodreads, but hope to talk about this more on YouTube. They say that we can learn a lot from children, and this book shows just how true this is. I'm not overexaggerating when I say it caused me to completely reevaluate parts of my life. More than anything, it's encouraged me to reevaluate my views on minimalism. Eersip does not own anything at all (not even a pair of shoes) and this gives her such freedom. She can wander and explore and walk without worrying about losing her way -- because there's nowhere she needs to be get back to. It gives her freedom. Not having THINGS gives her freedom. It kind of reminds me of an interview in the newest Matt D'Avila minimalism documentary where a man gets emotional and says that minimalism gave him a freedom he hadn't felt since he was four years old.
It's a quite read, but definitely worth trying. If you like Nature Writing, you will love this."

Not having things gives her freedom? Sure, Ruby, that's why you introduced new products to your Pumpkin Productivity Shop, have at least 10 outfit changes in every video and own a goddamn house. Not very minimalist I think.
