The trend I have seen is people trying to fight against the idea of sameness and try to be different but still end up following trends and becoming a copy of a copy. I say this because I am trying to decorate my flat and looking online for inspiration and I’ve noticed that even the idea of “different” to a person who considers there home “different “ I swipe up and it’s someone else home looking like the same “different “ I’ve seen. Which has led to quietly log of during weekends so I can gain back introspect to what is it that I really like? , to have experiences that will inform my taste instead of an algorithm so if for me.
