I can't say I am worth to be called a Minimalist,but I have been radically downsizing my possession for the past one year. I donated things that no longer serve me a purpose and only keeping things which are necessary and needed for my daily life. I also explained earlier the reasons behind my journey. Does it make me happier? partially it does.
Last Saturday, I didn't get a chance to clean my place because I was still overwhelmed. I arrived to my room after long hours and days of travel. I was still unable to think clearly and suddenly get caught up with academic routine. However, only later I realized, there are things from the past; memories I had with the person I no longer want to associate with effecting my emotional well-being.
This Saturday I decided to donate and throw some items. There were mainly posters, papers, and some junks that only filled up my room without a purpose. I feel more accomplished and slightly happier. More on that, since I venture on this journey, I managed to see the beauty in simplicity.
The idea behind minimalism does not stop with material possession. It is a whole- affecting our life, relationship and ideas about our society. I am far from being the minimalist portrayed by the media. I have my own way and it goes back to the reason of our existence. The why are we alive? and the what can we offer to the world?. I only need things that will help me achieve my goals. I will try to downsize my possession even replacing them if needed. This is my first week and I am planning to share my journey weekly.
