Boldly Decluttering Art Supplies... My Desired Path Was Art - Rie Mimura's Migokoro (Sankei Shimbun)
Actress Rie Mimura finally decluttered art supplies she held onto for 20 years due to guilt over abandoning her initial path toward art.Summary
Actress Rie Mimura realized she had been continuously decluttering her home over the past year, prompted by conversations with junior colleagues seeking career advice. When advising them that their true desires would eventually manifest, she felt a pang of dissonance, which she traced back to two boxes of art supplies. These supplies represented her guilt over abandoning her original desired path—fine arts—when she debuted as an actress, and served as a perceived insurance policy against an uncertain future in the industry. After 20 years of never opening them, Mimura realized that if she truly wanted to draw again, she could simply buy new supplies. Following this realization, she researched disposal methods and immediately got rid of the supplies, experiencing great relief.
