Minimalism

I don't enjoy clutter and chaos. When things are scattered everywhere, and I can't find something, I get frustrated. I'm on a journey of minimalism. I guess I've been on this journey for years, and have been improving. I used to collect things: coins, stamps, clothes, shoes, purses, custom jewelry, decorations, and on and on. In my twenties, I once lost an important business contract, and when my dad walked into my room to help me find it, he said, "Geez, an elephant could get lost in your room, and we would never find it."

I'm a different person now. I rarely exchange gifts with friends. I prefer sharing experiences. I used to love shopping, so much that I didn't use half the stuff I owned. Nowadays, sometimes I buy things from large online companies because it's convenient, but I only buy what I need. (photo by wayhomestudio)

Yesterday, I was trying to find the attachments to my waterpik. I searched high and low with no luck. As I turned each drawer upside down, I got pissed. I'm now determined to go through my entire house, and throw things out.

This will take months, maybe even a year, with my garage, car, bedroom, drawers, closet, kitchen stuff, office supplies, all the paperwork, emails, texts, and etc., while fitting in work, and everyday life. But I know that when I'm done, it will all be worth it. BTW, I love the below documentary on minimalism. It's something that I aspire to.
