Pal's post quickly gained traction online, resonating with thousands of X users who appreciated her perspective. However, amidst the praise, some users noted that her apartment appeared "messy." Responding to the feedback, Pal shared additional images of her apartment, showcasing three bedrooms filled with personal belongings.

Acknowledging her penchant for collecting items, she described herself as a "severe hoarder" and expressed the challenges of organising shelves to accommodate her possessions. 

Well, this blew up, for everyone who is finding my place messy, I’m a severe hoarder and it’s hard to place so many things without spending a bit on organising shelves. Drop your suggestions to fix. These are my bedrooms :) pic.twitter.com/j0KbAVpUL7

The entrepreneur, also a Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia-Finance & Venture Capital alumnus, shared insights into her journey as a homeowner, detailing how she has curated her living space over the past four years. 

She wrote, "You'll see lots of soft toys from around the globe, each with its own story, and Barbies from movies. My collection of figurines from favourite games, movies, and superheroes is always growing. Finding the perfect place for everything is a challenge, and organising shelves is expensive. Keeping them locked away feels unfair to the stories they tell. Once I sort it all out, I'll share more."

In response to Pal's posts, many praised the aesthetic appeal of her apartment, noting the thoughtful design and creative use of lighting. Some users expressed solidarity with Pal's struggle to store her belongings, emphasising the sentimental value attached to each item.
