"I try to own as little as possible.
Everything you own takes up space in your head."

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I've been trying to explain it for years. The way I describe it is that I feel so much better when I can comprehend all of my stuff at once...like all my clothing...or the all the stuff in our kitchen...or all of our furniture. Too much...and I can't quite wrap my mind around it...and somehow that feels a bit chaotic. I'm not sure if it comes from being a very spatial person...or if it comes from moving (+ packing) so many times...probably a bit of both.
Anyway, I felt understood when I read this quote recently. Minimalism is individual and can be interpreted in so many different ways. I love that. It doesn't have to mean black and white everything. It doesn't have to mean living in a tiny house or living in an antiseptic environment. It can, but it doesn't have to.
One thing I know for certain...there is a connection between the stuff I own and my own peace of mind.
Love,
Jane
