Minimalism is a way of living where you remove the unnecessary, and just keep the essentials. Like your old college t-shirt collection. Or your extensive collection of antique teapots. Or your feelings.
Minimalism is about simplicity, not about depriving yourself of the things you love. Unless you love your 500 pairs of socks, in which case, maybe have a conversation with a therapist.
At its core, minimalism is about finding beauty in the simple things. Like a perfectly good enough meal prepared in 10 minutes or under. Or a well-placed IKEA shelf.
Minimalism is about being true to yourself, even if that means wearing the same outfit every day for a week. Or eating Cheetos for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
