Me: I really like the idea of minimalism, or at least scaling back possessions.
Also me: But I have some pretty cool stuff…
Still me: [adds other cool thing to Amazon wishlist]
More me: I don’t have room for all this stuff!
@shawnp0wers The critical side of me wonders how much current ideas of minimalism are really just about replacing owning (long-term value) with renting/disposable goods (short-term value) for convenience.
It's easy to have a minimal kitchen if you order out every day, but you do need to invest in cookware/appliances to cook at home. Same if you replace your wardrobe every year.
I'm no minimalist, but instead I'm trying to focus on long-term value, and avoiding waste with the things I do have.
@shawnp0wers Of course I haven't always followed this approach, so I also have a ton of junk I need to get rid of :)
