Minimalism

Yes, me. I think it's more elegant and gorgeous, also, always modern.

 

Right here with you my man, I can't stand feeling cluttered by owning a bunch and stuff and regularly clean out my home every few weeks. Its always bizarre having friends or family come over and making comments about all the space I have. Its even worse when the family brings over "home decor" as gifts.

Most artist tend to keep their old sketchbooks but the idea of holding onto dusty graphite/lead pencil shaving covered sketchbooks makes me shiver at the notion of that sitting in some storage bin in my closet for years to come so I generally just trash it too after scanning sketches I like.

 

I am a minimalist, glad i found this mindset now at the age of 20, I am not too wealthy anyway as I am a student but I know in the future I will live relatively frugally as I dont need 'things' as much. Quality over quantity.

 

I love how the bloke who posted this is so minimalist that he doesn’t even have an account any more

 

I appreciate minimalism, yes. A few years ago there were a couple articles on some Japanese practitioners of minimalism that take it to an extreme.

Most people I know would find it bleak, but I at least understand conceptually its liberating power and beauty. It really is quite amazing. I do struggle to put it into practice, but I'm still going down that river.

I live in Southern California, and many of my friends are in their mid 30's who have recently bought homes and have young families. Many of them bought their homes at "good deals" and have gained equity on it, but are nonetheless struggling to make paments, and are in constant stress and anxiety over finances and keeping up appearances. I've made, and make mistakes in my life, and am not perfect, but sometimes I wonder if the obsession for "things" is really the gauge of success.
