There was once a time when I thought I needed everything. My closet stayed packed and each time I moved, I noticed that I had very little room to breathe. It was like one day I woke up and I no longer wanted all this stuff I’d collected. My constant need to buy things was just an attempt to fill a void. No matter what I bought, I still wasn’t at peace.
At 24 I began growing into the “new” me. Fragments of my younger self remained but I wanted a new life. A new sense of purpose and appreciation for life as it should be. Not just for the material things I had. I wanted more out of life and that meant I needed less.
It’s taken years but I’ve finally committed to the idea of less equals more. Minimalism felt like the answer I’d been looking for so in recent months I’ve fully embraced it. I’ve gone through my closet multiple times , each time purging a few pieces I never wore but always “thought” I would. My hair, makeup, and skincare collections have shrunk drastically.
I assume I’m going through another growth phase and I’m fully ready to embrace it. I plan to keep everyone up to date on my minimalist journey on my YouTube channel: talking with at.
