I came into contact with minimalism in my second year of sophomore year, but after reading it, I found that I still haven't gotten out of this black hole, but I have to do my best.
Maybe we'll be there all the time, but we've got to stay awake and open our eyes.
I listed, without my own home, without the house I bought, without the school, how much do I have in the house in the mountain that I am currently renting?
I have calculated roughly that some are not one piece, but a whole variety or set.
I don't know if I've counted them all, but there are more than 130.
After doing the math again, I can subtract twenty or thirty, because some of these things I don't need.
Not only a place to live, but traveling this year is also a consumption. Compared to travel, I feel that I am just consuming, consuming accommodation, consuming food, consuming scenic tickets, consuming up and down mountains, cable cars, sightseeing cars, small trains... consuming passenger trains, high-speed rail airplane……
Not long ago, the house was in my name, and I started shopping, and I began to fall into endless choices, this furniture and that furniture, this kind of decoration, this kind of decoration, this smart product and that... endless... dizzy ...
Thanks for this video, I'm more awake after watching it. There are many foods in my life, like milk tea, etc. We endow it with happiness and happiness after eating it, but it's no more than that, and even those with a bad stomach have diarrhea.
Traveling, I'm tired of running to sights, but jumping out of this, I'm a little bit tired of it too, I need to stop.
I know that my material desire is actually not that high compared to many people. I haven’t put on makeup for a long time, and I don’t have much skin care. I don’t buy much clothes, and food is…
It's not something we own. To have it, we must choose. Faced with endless choices, we make endless choices, and then go back to our own home. Do we still have to choose?
I hope, my new home, no, I've decided not to fix all that mess.
What's in the new home now?
1. Desk with bookshelf
2. Kitchen
3. Wardrobe, locker
4. Toilet
5. TV cabinet
6. Refrigerator air conditioner washing machine
7. Newly bought sofa bed with lockers
Do I need anything else?
1. Health pot
2. Whole grains and jars
3. A set of tableware
4. A set of toiletries
5. A set of bed sheet and quilt cover
6. Two sets of laundry
7. Shoes
8. Hair dryer
9. Pigments
10. Books
Others, I will not think about it for the time being, really, think about it, I live alone for a month in January, and I only bring one suitcase! I just ate half a suitcase of whole grains, and I used a health pot to cook porridge and water. My skin was better, my mood was better, everything was great!
But I am in the mountains now, I have an oven, and many other things. I bake it every day, put a lot of peppers and other seasonings, and get pimples every day.
What does it mean to truly love yourself? Watching those ads and following other people? Buying makeup and spending time here and ruining your skin? Don't stop shopping for clothes? Keep buying a lot of stuff that says you'll be happy and healthy when you eat it? Keep buying smart products that make life more interesting and happier?
We have so much that we are empty. When we have it, we don't know we have it. When we lose it, we don't know how to lose it. When we have and don't, we forget ourselves and life.
And love, no, don't believe in the love advertised in most movies and TV dramas, don't believe in any fitness that makes people look good, especially don't exercise crazily at night or in winter... It's not about money, money is important, very important, but , the world is good and rich, we can all be fed, but we are too illusory, we live in the illusion of others and ourselves.
To love a specific person, first of all, love the specific and true self. How to love a specific, true and complete self? Do you love both the good and the bad of yourself? no. Love yourself well, develop your own strengths, and then keep changing the habits of life that hurt yourself.
Then, in the same way, love the things that accompany you, your friends, and others.
Love is not blind promiscuity.
I already have a lot, but I'm not clear enough, I still have a lot of things that I bought but accumulated dust, and a lot of things that will never be used, and some that are broken, and some that hurt myself... and some that I like but don't always spend time with...
I hope that it's not that I have more and more, but that I know more and more about what I have and which are with me. If I want to be happier and happier, it's very simple, just like if I want to laugh more and more, then Just reduce the point of laughter, it will be easier to laugh, then, reduce the baseline of gratitude and happiness, breathe happiness, live happiness, sunny weather, drink water happiness, walk happiness, rain happiness, cloudy happiness... become one How happy are such people!
Maybe these are clichés, yes, minimalism, I knew it eight hundred years ago, but we are alive, we have already lived, but have we lived well? You have to keep cultivating, keep on, keep on, keep on.
Contentment is always happy, contentment is always happy.
