I’m not much of a hoarder. I don’t collect things either. But I was far from a minimalist until Nov 2021. A major life choice have made me decide to slowly embrace the minimalist lifestyle.
It was a slow process of sorting, prioritizing and choosing what to keep. That resulted to donating shelves of books, selling half my kitchen online, and setting up a Poshmark store for my purses and clothes. 🤭
I like this new lifestyle. Owning fewer things than before makes it easier to pack the place and relocate anywhere we want. It is also easier to search for something I need.
🎒 I’ve always practiced travelling “light”. Now, I’m doing my best to “live light”, too.
Minimalism isn’t just about things. We should also sort, prioritize and get rid of 🖤 emotions, habits and thoughts that don’t add value to our lives.
The challenge is in knowing which ones we should keep and which ones we should leave behind.

@CookieCrumbs not sure if it's all sentimentality. Some of it is "Well, this might be good someday. Better hang onto it." Sort of a "sentimental practicality".
My work requires an inordinately large pile of stuff to function... maybe that spills over into the rest of my life.
