a minimalist existence.


i was thinking earlier that I want to have a minimalist existence. I dont want to own a lot of stuff. things. Like I dont want to know that I own an entire set of eating utensils. What am i going to do with 5 or 6 forks and spoons? Eat with them, yeah, but when I move from one place to the next, i don't want to have to lug them around. That was just a par-example, but there's just a lot of matter and extra materials that we have to own, and I don't want to. But we need to. but I don't want to. It's a never-ending cycle. Everything in our vision pulls at our attention at least a little, so clutter is like a form of visual distraction, and if i don't have a lot of things, then less clutter, less distraction, less stress.

I want to be like this tree. it has nothing.
