Why I Become a Minimalist?




When I was in senior high school I started to love shoes. I tried to save my money and then I splurged my money on shoes. When I got them all I had a contemporary happiness. Last year of high school, I tried to look for another source of happiness, I tried to save my money and then I bought a lot of clothes. Again, I just had a contemporary happiness. Okay, again, I looked for something to made my life more easier, I thought that shoes and clothes didn’t make me happy at all. I started to buy “a small thing that can change my life” and again they couldn’t make my life more easier.

All of those things remain nothing for me. No happiness. I couldn’t enjoy my life because I kept thinking about the space to store all of those stuffs. Made me confused about the situation in my room. I must had storage in my room to keep them all so I have a small space to access anything. All of those things which I tried to save money and splurged on it till couldn’t make me happier but remain regret and stress.

When I finished my senior high school, I had to move to another city for my studies. All of those things I bought, left in my room, at my parents’ house. When I moved, I brought several clothes, several shoes, and other stuffs to support my studies. I rent a small room to live and I filled it with my stuffs that I brought from my parents’ house. Nothing special in this room. Only small number of stuffs. At that moment, I could enjoy my life. I felt safe and content. Comparing with my room at parents’ house full of stuffs, seriously I couldn’t enjoy life and I didn’t feel content at all. Okay for now I have a small rented room which is can make me happier but what about my stuffs in my room? Thinking about those stuffs make me can’t sleep. Yes can’t sleep! I kept thinking, are those stuff still safe? Then I realized the benefit of all of those things. No benefits at all. 

When I had a spare time, I watched a lot of youtube videos. I watched random videos until I found a video about minimalism. That video opened my mind. And I read a lot of articles about minimalism.  I thought that this is the best way to enjoy my life. I started to rid something which is not important to me in may rented room. When I have time to back to my home city, I try to rid some stuffs from my room. To be honest I can’t get rid my stuffs easily. I know it will takes time. Today, I’m still trying to rid some stuffs and it will keep going until I feel what I have is what I need. 

Since I watched a lot minimalism videos and read a lot articles about minimalism, I decided to become a minimalist. I’m trying to become a good minimalist to more enjoy my life than having stuffs.

So for me the best place where you can declutter is the place where you go and fro frequently at home. I think if you look at that spot which is clean and tidy it would encourage you to do the next spot where you can declutter for the second time. But it’s up to you if you want to declutter the spot you like the most in your home. Also on this post I am going to list down the spots that I think we go and fro frequently in our home also (I think) these spots is the best start from you the beginner of being minimalist.

So first I have some tips when you are doing decluttering, I know it’s hard to make decision that you have to remove everything you have, probably because those things are your favorite things and you don’t use them anymore or because those things have incredible memories, for me to keep the incredible memories it worth to keep it only in my mind or if you have photos you can scan them keep them on your computer or laptop. So here I want to assert that you have to decide w…

When I am Feeling Down

Sometimes I don’t know the causes why I am feeling down. So it’s hard to find what’s wrong with me. The worse is I loose my motivations to do what I should do; assignments, reaching my goals and resolutions. I spend days to bring back those motivations to me and it’s not easy.
A couple week ago I felt down and as usual I don’t know why. So basically this feeling ruin my life. I pended everything that I had to reach because of this feeling. And also I don’t know why in a year I must through this feeling around three or two times. I know it sucks but what should I do?
When I am feeling down, I don’t want to think everything; my courses along with the assignments, and my resolutions. All what I want is just to think nothing and do nothing. I don’t know if someone else sometimes feels this way too. And I am confused how to stay away from this feeling. I know I cant handle this feeling when it comes to me so at least I try to control how to not spending your days only to do nothing and think…
