Minimalism as a life plan? Not with me!
Minimalism is cool. Anyone who tells at a party that he just broke up with all his belongings is being celebrated as if he had just climbed Mount Everest? without oxygen. Why? Because confused people have put the rumor in the world, that you feel much better when you live minimalist. The prevailing opinion: those who have little can finally focus on what is really important. This would give you much more time, enjoyment and fun.
According to the? Life at Home Report 2017? From Ikea almost every third person feels the pressure to live minimalistically. That's why they sit down wherever they can. They sell their cars, throw their books and memorabilia into the bin, and move into small slugs with little charm. But why only? To feel free? To start the next world trip at any time or emigrate immediately?
I'm not a minimalist, never was. You do not need to look for bare walls and empty windowsills. The totally uncool Rauhfasertapete we hung full of photos. The shelves are stuffed with books and trinkets to the touch, in the bathroom cabinet lotions and sun creams. We have too much of everything. Do I feel so bad now? No! I am prepared for every situation. We could be snowed for weeks, and my family of four would want for nothing. We could stock up on the pantry and freezer stuff, chase our time off the games from my grandma's games collection, get drunk on the hits from the CD collection, and probably would not even have to hit the washing machine because we have enough laundry for everyone ,
Should the others sort out. I prefer to muckle with my knickknacks and my dears in my after minimalist standards probably much too old apartment. Maybe I can not save and be damned to a life of stress and unhappiness. It does not matter. At the same time I let it go really well for me.
