I've finally moved all of my things into the living room, and opened the blinds to let all of the natural light come through. It was a lot of work moving furniture around, and getting it to where it is right now, but it's coming together. Currently, I'm in the process of sorting through my things, cleaning up, and deciding what to keep, what to throw, and what to give away. It was kind of a reminder of how my style has progressed throughout the years, and remembering why I bought all of the things I did at the time.
It's a challenge, trying to clear up as much as possible up to the bare minimum. I'm trying to ease into minimalism, and realize that we actually don't need an over-abundance of things to live. We gradually accumulate all of these things because we feel like we have to have them, or that we need them, and finally, we're left with this weird build-up of stuff that we now have to sort through. Every time I look at what I have now, it's another opportunity to break it down even more.
Sometimes we need to be satisfied with having less, because then we can appreciate whenever we're blessed with more. It actually feels nice, and oddly peaceful being in this state. Working hard for something is great, but don't do it for a petty reason.
