So I myself have talked a little bit about my journey into minimalism at the point. Which if I looked into my life now would be crazy. My closet had exploded with art supplies and I was tired of it so I decided to change. Soon after I got rid of most of it and decided to just dedicate a small space for my craft supplies. I don't use most of it still as much as I would like but it 100% has a purpose. (why I've kept it and tutorial - coming soon).
Since it was the new year I wanted to get back into my minimalistic ways I decided to get rid of stuff and get things back in order. I separated things the Marie Kondo way and I love it. Now that the Marie Kondo show has come out de-cluttering her way has become almost "trendy". Which I kinda hate in some ways to be honest. I mean 100% I love others de-cluttering and if this does it for you great but I really wish more people had dedicated to before the show. I guess for me it's annoying how it presents itself now. Anyway lets not get on the trend rant train.
So I found out about minimalism 3ish years ago and I wanted to try it instantly. But I didn't I waited because I thought my materialistic mother would hate me for it. Which in turn to my surprise she was filled with hatred in the ways I wanted to make change. I finally took the bullet and did it. I de-cluttered my life but I didn't fully do it. I felt like this was a first step and I could go back and make the changes later. but that's the thing I didn't I took a break.
After another year I came back and de-cluttered most of it. A few things I see I am like oh yeah I could toss it but Overall I got rid of the things that I would look at and fill with hatred. After all of this I feel I could get rid of some more things. But the real reason all the minimalistic thoughts and movements changed me were because of my childhood. My parents felt that the best way to fill my childhood was with materialistic objects. Everywhere I would look I would see things and after awhile my mind felt cluttered. It wasn't toys but the everything everywhere. My mother's childhood wasn't great and so she was and can be just so attached to materialistic objects. I love everything I own. Sure there are a few things I want to get rid of but minimalism is more of the things in you head than in your face.
