Less is more. Life changing video I learned about yesterday
Yesterday was a very usual day going in such a slow pace when you are currently unemployed. My boyfriend got back from his office looking very concerned. He learned about this video (there's also a movie called Minimalism on Netflix) and wanted to introduce me to a different style of living.
And it got me thinking..isn't it so, that your true life begins when you step outside that vicious circle of consumption? When u really start thinking and being present to your everyday experience? I looked around...We live in a small apartment of 34 square meters, owning two pets, but surrounded with so much s***..stuff:) Piles of same looking boring T-shirts I got on a discount..Why do I need almost exact looking tops if I wears just a couple of them anyway? Why do I need so many cheap low quality trainers if I only have a pair of feet? Let alone the orphan socks with holes in them...?! I never sew them up anyway! And the kichen is filled with clutter...so many stupid cracked mugs, plates and glasses which we never use anyway because we rarely have guests..the bathroom..so many shampoos, soaps and hair products..when do I have time to use them anyway? That's it. I'm getting rid of what I didn't need in the first place. I'll donate them to a local day care centre for children from social risk families...But where to draw the line so that I wouldn't become an extreme cheapskate..I really need to regroup many things in my life starting from now on! Wish me luck and enjoy watching!
