Minimalism and My Thoughts

I’m a fatty girl. When I was in junior and senior high school I was the biggest student in class but I never thought about my body and I never compared my body to my friends’ body. I felt like I have same body with them. But my feeling was so different with around people around me. Family. Friends. They told me that I had I fatty body so it was abnormal and it was ugly looking. The worst was no men would love you because I had a big body. But I never thought that I need a boy to care to me.  I thought that only me could care myself. No one else. They forced me to do exercise and to stopped drinking milk, eating cheese, eating chocolate, eating meat, basically stopped to eat everything accept fruits and veggies. It’s okay because I love fruits and veggies but I love chocolate too! For me I have no trouble with my body until right now. I’m still a fatty girl and maybe they are right that no men love me because I’m a fatty girl but I’m telling you that I never put my hope t...

this is a simple post. As a minimalist, you have to think the clothes is the ones you will wear in daily life. If you have an outfit which you haven’t wear them for three or six months, it means that that outfit is no longer want to be exist in your closet. Donate it or sell it. It’s up to you. As a minimalist you have to organize and minimalize your closet. These are items you must have in your closet if you are a minimalist or trying to be a minimalist. 1.     T- shirts , I recommend black or grey (mainly) because black and grey is easy to mix and match with another item. 2.     Shirts , I recommend black or grey, you can go to informal and formal events with shirts so I really recommend you must have a black shirt to combine with another item. 3.         Black jeans. 4.     A black or grey cardigan , it would be easy to mix and match with another item and also warm up your body when you feel cold. 5...

The reason why I don’t wear makeup is because I don’t like to spend my time in the morning to apply all of the makeup stuff on my face. I know it takes a long time (maybe) but for me I rather to do something to improve my knowledge like read a book or just write to-do list for that day. I never wear powder or foundation or whatever in daily life. I just have three lipsticks, one mascara, one eyeliner. Why do I have them? Because I’m a (traditional) dancer so when my team will perform sometimes I have to bring my own makeup kit so that’s why I bought those makeup kit. But for daily life (go to campus or meet up with friends to do assignments) I don’t wear them I rather let my face no makeup on it. I think it’s amazing. I just show my real face, my natural face and I’ proud of it. Sometimes I get some pimples but I don’t care , I don’t want to cover them because it’s natural when you have pimples so I mean it’s supposed to be like that sometimes. Just deal with it. I can say t...

I’m a student, every month I get money for my needs like food, books, rented room, transportation, etc. Before become a minimalist, almost every month I didn’t have any money at end of the month so I mean if I got 500 dollar for a month I have no remain in the end of month. It was hard to save money. I wonder how can I spend money on things ? I’m an introvert so I’m so comfortable if I stay in my room alone rather than go outside or hang out with friends so I mean I don’t spend my money on buying things or meal while hanging out with friends because I don’t like hanging out. Being a minimalist can help me to overcome my issue with money. I just apply minimalism lifestyle into my habit but the effect is amazing. Since being a minimalist, every month I divide my money into several “accounts” for example; meal account, book account, transportation account, etc so I can handle my spending. Here, I’m telling you that minimalism helps me to handle my financial a lot. Tips from me ...

the picture: by me Since I decided to become a minimalist, I’m trying to stop shopping, I buy things that I need. Okay,  stop shopping then I started to get rid my things that I don’t need any more. To get rid my things I know it’s hard to decide, so I tried to get rid my things from a specific place. For me shoes rack was the first place that I tried to. I loved shoes to death but they didn’t remain me any happiness or content so  I decided to threw it away which not proper to wear at all and some of them I gave to my relative and my sisters who was need those shoes. Right know, shoes that I have is only the ones that I wear the most. Sometimes, I just bought the shoes but I didn’t want to wear. Such a waste! Then moved to clothes that I have. I gave clothes that I don’t need to my sisters and my relatives. I explained how I rid my things look like it’s easy. Apparently, it’s not. I have to think consciously which one that I like and I will often to wear th...

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 regr...

The definition of minimalism is different among people (among minimalists of course) so for me minimalism is having everything you have on level “enough”. So here, I try to think about which one is very important to me (also I apply this while shopping). Like what I said before (on first post ) that I’m not “fully” minimalist because I’m a newbie so everything that I want to rid it’s based on important level. Everything that I have it’s not less and it’s not more. Maybe some of you is wondering why I’m trying to have less thing? It’s simple! To have a better life. Imagine, that you have less things and you have a lot of space in your room, maybe you’re asking what? having space? Yes having space. Having more space can help you to focus on your important thing and more important is enjoy life. For me, having a lot of things is terrible. It sucks. Yes because I can’t enjoy my life. While do shopping, a lot of things around the supermarket ensure me that they also importan...
