One of the best experiences of my life was giving a large portion of mr crazy filled closet to all my friends who showed up for my closet closing. Then giving away my mid century modern furniture and art to my daughter. Amazingly uplifting. Not sure I’ve come down yet. I love to visit to see my things in their context. To visit a friend unexpectantly see them wearing one of my old pieces is grand. It’s a good way to live Yana! Bravo

I embrace minimalism as well. I find that it significantly simplifies life.

My husband and I went from a 2400 square foot house with three out building filled with STUFF to living in a 45-foot motorhome. It was SO freeing to get rid of all of the material things we don't need. It is awesome! Thanks for sharing. :)

There is no point in keeping in touch with an ex unless, kids are involved. Definitely some issues are best left to memories.😘

“The reason why my living room is mostly bare is that in the back of my mind, I am already planning my exit and when it happens, I don’t want to be bogged down by all the stuff that needs to be moved for the umpteenth time. I don’t want to carry any of it with me except for the bare essentials.”

Yes. I lived like that for a long time. I hated moving stuff.

Now I’ve been in a relationship for so many years, same address for 23 years. We have a whole household of stuff.

I know we might have to move and it fills me with dread. All of these possessions to lug around. I want to order a dumpster and start throwing things away now.

Love this read, Yana! I think most spiritual scripts will go deep in the form of not having attachments here on earth or not falling in love with things of this world so I can agree with you here and I also resonate with you! I have always been sort of a minimalist, one that can live out of a suitcase very easily! Similar to relationships as well in times! In doing this I feel very free and light, not sure I’d rather have it a different way!

Thanks for sharing, Yana!
