journey into minimalism

i got rid of most of my stuff when i moved to florida for christmas.

initially, it felt like a loss, but it turned out to be beneficial.

i owned many things that weren’t valuable to me:

• photo backdrop
• standing desk
• expensive chair
• yeti microphone
• led ring light
• unused ikea furniture, rugs, and drawers
• unused road bike
• ill-fitting clothes
• unused kitchen appliances
• car
• other forgettable items

i had home-gym equipment because the gym was closed. it took too much space.

the move

i left with just:

• clothes iron
• lav microphone
• seat cushion
• stick vacuum
• 4 pairs of pants
• 7 shirts
• camera
• headphones
• hygiene products
• two mechanical keyboards
• personal and work laptops

everything fit into two suitcases.

i used to buy things for short-term happiness instead of valuing life.

now, i’ll consider the value of things before letting them take up my space and energy.
