I have to change. And maybe you should too.
Okay. 
Hi.
Today I received my pay check and my first thought was: I should buy new clothes. 
I don’t need new clothes. I have anything I need for this winter. I have enough boots, enough sneakers, I have enough coats. I don’t need more. 
Then I thought: I could buy new books, new stationery. I should go the city and shop. Because that’s the thing: I love to shop. I love buying things I don’t need, things that will not make me feel better, less empty. 
I looked around my room and looked at all the stuff I have. And boy, do I have a lot of stuff. I have so many books (okay, I really love books). I have a lot of clothes. Some of it I haven’t worn in a while, because the “right occasion” was never there. And I mainly have a lot of crap: chemistry notebooks from three years ago, three million different kind of tote bags, and so. many. notebooks. I also have a lot of deodorant and soap, which might come in handy but it just reminds that I should not buy more anytime soon. 
I could never be a minimalist, I love stuff too much. But I could a bit less: consumerism is a problem, and I am contributing. So I welcome you on my voyage to buy less, but live more.
