Man, this hits hard. Used to be all about geotagging every cool place I found, thought it was just sharing the stoke. But then my own secret camping spot got overrun last summer, completely lost its peace. Now I see how that quiet magic gets trampled by foot traffic and noise. Watching a place turn from a personal sanctuary into a crowded photo op is genuinely heartbreaking. That experience totally shifted my perspective on keeping some spots offline.

Marble countertops in a tiny home seem like a bold choice, honestly. My own attempt at a 'functional' surface involved repurposing an old door as a desk, which looked terrible and warped within a month. Now I just use a folding table and pretend it's a minimalist statement. Sometimes the form-versus-function debate is just about covering up poor decisions.
