Very nice post!
I like to think that I live minimalistically. I've done large purges of things at multiple key points in my lifetime and it always feels good to so so. Like a weight is lifted. Tbh it often feels better to throw stuff away then to buy stuff lol. I have noticed that things and stuff, have a way of creeping into my life over time though. I have dreamed of owning a tiny home in the past. I invision it in my mind. But I would also like to own a large plot of land. a tiny house on a big property that I could grow gardens and such. Minimalist for possessions and maximilist for nature. That would be ideal for me
Wow we are so alike @leaky20 I have the same dream of land with a tiny house. I sold my home last year to go make this a reality and then home prices in the US, specifically Utah and Idaho, where I was looking for land sky rocketed. I went on a land looking trip last December and again this October. I really want to make this dream a reality. I think it will be another year or so. When I sold my house I moved into a room my friend was renting. I thought this will be perfect to only have things that will fit in my tiny house! It is just fine. I will need to get things, especially kitchen things or my own tiny house some day.
Hello Sara @sjarvie5, that's a lovely story to share here in the community too. Your process in selling your home, parting ways with stuff that no longer holds your vision for the present and future. May your dream of a tiny house in a big plot of land full of greens come true.
Thanks I didn't even think of that. I will share it. I am sure I have more to share as I have thought of myself as a minimalist for many years now. Right now I have been thinking about "Intentional" and how that plays into what I do, own, my relationships and time. I would like to write a bit about this too.
@sjarvie5 I hope that dream comes true for you. It sounds amazing. Yeah the housing market is crazy in Canada as well, it seems like an issue in a lot of countries these days.
Hi @leaky20, thank you, it can be so calming and the exhilaration of letting go of stuff feels rewarding. It is true that we don't realize how much we have acquired until we move house again.
Love the idea of an easy-to-manage-sized house in a big property filled with greens. I'm sure this new Minimalist Community would love to hear your stories, insights, and experiences on minimalism.
I'll check out that community. I didn't known it existed. Sounds interesting
Yes! Tiny house, big land!!!! The dream.
