My life became simpler a long time ago, when I moved to another country. It was hard, really hard. I had to work on letting go of my possessions; many of them had been hard-won, but once I’d done so, I felt a sense of liberation. Today I live a simple life, with a few comforts, but I enjoy other things more. I only buy things when I need them or to reward myself for a victory; I still remember that I must buy that victory cup!!
There's freedom in letting go of materialism and consumerism.
It’s true, at least for me, that life feels... a bit lighter.
