Struggling in spite of a Minimalist [kiss-76]

The lifestyle of a minimalist is quite simple and they try to keep things simple in their life. One of the qualities of a minimalist is thrift store donation. A minimalist tries to reduce extra/excess things and focus on those things which are useful in life. As a minimalist, I also have the habit but in spite of a minimalist, there exists something which I don't want to donate to others easily. My inner heart resists me from doing it. The reason can be sentimental connections or something else. I just say something resist me why I try to donate it to others.

I have said several times that I am a person who loves to read books and I feel without books it's hard to think about life. It's because the book is called the best friend of humans and the knowledge of it helps to understand many things easily. Besides reading books helps to grow some good habits like patience. To be honest I don't love to read academic textbooks because I don't feel the textbook is interesting to read. I need to read it for academic purposes. So after a certain time, the book of the previous class became useless for me except for some specific books. It's a very natural thing and I feel those books are useless and I won't need to use those books in the future also. I don't glance at those books but when my mother says to give those books to others, I start to resist. Even if I know it's useless to me, I never try to give it to others and it can be very helpful to them. My logical mind says to give those useless books to others while I am also resisting myself. A war starts automatically in my mind for it. Most of the time the winner is my resisting mind. I only donate books to others when they ask for those books. If they don't ask then I don't bother myself to give those books to others. I love to keep those books in my village house.

I have another thing which is one of my favorite things and even if I have some extra I don't love to share it with others. It's my Rubik's cube. I started to solve the Rubik's cube from my XI class. Rubik's cube is the thing which gave me the lesson that practice and practice help us to increase our skills and continuous practice helps us to improve our timing & accuracy. I crossed many years but I never thought to stop solving Rubik's cube anytime. I feel good solving it again and again. Excuse my favorite and for various cases, I bought several Rubik's cubes because Whenever I saw a Rubik's cube at a cheap price I bought it immediately. To be honest, when guests arrive at my house there also come some little kids and they easily get attracted by my Rubik's cube. At the time of returning those kids try to take my Rubik's cube with them and for kids, It's very natural. But I try my best not to give it to them. Unfortunately, I failed sometimes to take my Rubik's cube from them. I feel heartbroken at that time. I know I have some other Rubik's cube. This is a thing which I don't love to give to anyone and I resist for it. Now I hide all my Rubik's Cube before guests arrive 😅 at home. It may sound a little bit funny but it's a serious thing for me.
