Minimalism

I always felt that my possessions weigh me down.

Where does this feeling come from?

• Attention - Keeping track of everything you have, managing everything, not wanting to lose your possessions, the visual attention stuff grabs.
• Space - You need to store it somewhere right?
• Money - Stuff needs money to buy, to store, to insure, to replace, to repair.

You do not own your possessions, they own you. I think this clashes with one of my core values, freedom.

Now I restrict my self to things I really need, that are really useful or bring real joy while remembering that I can say goodbye to each possession.
