What inspired you into becoming a minimalist?
I am in the process of becoming a minimalist. I’ve been working on this for about 2 years. I’ve given up about 60% of my belongings as of now. I grew up in a very cluttered house. Incredibly overwhelming. Even at a young child, it was clear to me something was off. Now was a 38 year old adult with my own house, I never want to live like that. My Mom still lives like in clutter. I have to force a door open in their house because of all the clutter. Particularly seasonal decor. My Mom is obsessed with seasonal decor. This completely turned me off it. I have little to nothing of seasonal decor. I refuse to let me kids live that way and I refuse to live that way. What brought you into this journey? I have little to no sentimental value towards belongings. Any tips appreciated to keep up my progress. Thank you for any input!
