13: Why I Like Minimalism

Sorry, sorry. I know that I'm late. Meh.





Here are the top 5 reasons why I like minimalism so much (btw, some of these are ones that I've read before, but I wholeheartedly agree with them) :

1. It makes you pick what's important, be it an item, an activity, a TV show, whatever. Minimalism is about paring down to what you absolutely need and gives you time and space to focus on the things you love.




2. The simplicity. Even though it may not seem like it on the outside, I adore simplicity. Having just enough and being able to cherish every object or thing you do is so inspiring to me.




3. The neatness of it. This goes along with #2. If you only have a few things, then nothing is cluttered or messy and it all looks clean.




4. The way it reminds me of the olden days. Minimalism makes me think of colonial times or even before that in developing nations like Egypt or France or anywhere else where people did not have or need a lot.




5. The rebelliousness of it. By not buying everything you see or like, you are taking a stand against corporations and consumerism. You are sending a message that you do not support what a company is doing. If you like a company and its concept, then you use your hard-earned dollars to invest in it, because money is your voice when it comes to buying.

These are just some of the reasons why I lovelovelove minimalism and what it stands for. Check out mnmlist.com or ZenHabits for more info on this topic.

I'll have another post up tonight for today.

Peace, love, and simplicity. ♥
