Why Minimalism is Important to me

         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.

Long time no See

        I consistently slack off at things. Whether writing or work or general housework I can't hold on to the good helpful habits. I've tried many times and I haven't been able to do anything consistently beyond making my bed every day and even then it's not completely consistent. so I'm doing what i've always wanted to do and trying to build a consistent strong habit. but this time I'm planning on actually writing about like you know I always planned too.        So with intention in mind take note that I will be attempting to write on here and in general more because I love too. I also will be reviewing some books now for various genres. speaking of writing one of my writing friends just released her first print book and I'm so proud of her. She has taught me how to plan for the future and if you're interested in finding her elsewhere she runs a discord channel and a blog. which all can be found on her website !      In the next ...

Reset Challenge: Habits

       Welcome to the first edition of my Reset Challenge. This week I was trying to update and challenge myself to Fix my habits.           Now I will say that I could've planned the timing better but I thought just start now. I am currently re-doing my room (wet paint on the walls now). So I've had to sleep on the couch for 4ish nights now. So Hopefully I will get to sleep in my bedroom soon. But It didn't keep me from stopping my habit change goal. For my habits, I am going with Reading 10 pages per day Morning pages every day Practicing guitar every day Making the bed Exercising 6 days For reading every day I completely and utterly failed. I must've read 3 pages the entire week out of the book but I did listen to about 15 minutes of an Audiobook. For morning pages I also didn't do that great I wrote Four pages out of Seven. Then again not the worst I could've done I did great with practicing every day. I played the guitar for 342 minutes...

Reset challenge: Home

Welcome or welcome back!                         This week in my reset challenge it was all about resetting my house. Cleaning up and just getting it prepared for everything to come this year. Now I decided I wanted to do a total re-do of my room for this to completely reset your space. A note is that I 100% did not finish as I only painted the walls. Not even getting to the carpet shampooing and to be honest even that painting isn't done. But here's how everything went.             I got everything boxed up not thinking about decluttering just yet throwing it into another room and I called it a day. Next, I moved the furniture out getting the room completely cleaned off and prepared for the painting process when it came to. it was a finally a good evening when I put the paint on the alls for the first time. I had only seen my walls with the same hideous purple (no offense to anyone who like...
