You are right, it's struggling... @karensuestudios. It takes a lot of times and be able to emotionally distant of our possessions. I saw that you travel a lot, you have probably discovered that you don't need a lot of stuff to travel and you feel alright :D
So maybe, after all theses travels it will be simple to get rid of your stuff if you feel the need to do it :) Because the main question is " why do you want to be minimalist " ^^
