I'm moving into a new apartment next weekend and it's really becoming apparent how little stuff I really have to take with me. A kitchen table, computer desk, TV stand, and book case accounts for all of my furniture. I won't even have a bed and will have to sleep on the floor the first few days (maybe a week?) before the one I ordered arrives.

No couch. No coffee table. No side tables. No decor whatsoever really. So anyways, I'm imagining how empty this living room area is going to look like without any of this stuff, and maybe I want to start furnishing it up, but it's been so long since I saw a properly furnished living area (my mom's place maybe?) that I actually can't picture what I'm missing or what to look for.

Seriously, what the fuck do people put in their houses? Even supposing I do get a couch and a coffee table soon. What else? Those weird fake plants or some shit? I have distinct emotional imprints of so many cluttered houses in my past memory, but I can't actually remember what they looked like, just what they were. Help a nigga out with some ideas, so it doesn't look like a weird town-skipping scam artist with no possessions is the resident of my apartment.

Is there any book on how to become an ascetic in the modern day? I've been looking for a year now and I haven't found anything even relatively close.

Is the concept of friendship overrated, philosophically speaking?
It seems too tribalistic for the modern world, where you don't have to worry about survival and can get a huge variety of resources for cheap. It just doesn't pay to invest in a friendship anymore because all you would ever need from them is readily available and commoditized.

Do you prefer physical books, kindle, or ripped PDFs?
