Hey @discoveringarni, what a beautiful story! This resonates with me on so many levels.
I do think that my chosen profession brought me on a path to hoarding too, and I'm happy that I now have to freedom to rid myself of it all and go back to the basics.
I do like to make the most of what I have, and it pains my soul to listen to persons constantly thinking about buying and upgrading to the next thing.
I like to sit back and appreciate things around me whether perfect or not, after all, I only want what has value around me anyway.
I do look around me everyday, and I'm constantly making note of everything and always seeing what else I could do without, instead of what else I need.
I am so enthused by your journey and strength to embark on what you felt was right regardless of your upbringing.
Great insight to your journey!
I am looking forward to learning more about your minimalist journey through this community.
Thanks for stopping by:)
Hi Milly @millycf1976, I wish we could tell each other these stories over a glass of wine. I think both of us have heard snippets of our stories during our conversations.
I can relate to that. I went out on a date back in my 20s and he went on and on about some fashion sales somewhere, my eyes just glazed over, and could hardly believe that the man in front of me had thicker makeup than I had.
That's a beautiful practice and a fresh way of seeing it. Thank you so much for creating this community. Living with the essentials leaves a lot of room to breathe and an abundance of spirit.
I do wish we could have more conversations for wine too:)
My gosh! I'm happy you survived that experience.
Yes, I do recall many of your stories😍
I guess this is the place for us to share them now:)
