Minimalism: So hard in reality
I like to think of myself as a minimalist, but the reality is that I still have too much stuff: too many clothes, too many books, too many retro games for consoles which no longer quite work. Iโve always sourced as many clothes as I can from op shops, but rather than drive me towards minimalism, itโs made me a collector of relics โ pieces once stylish in their time, but now so old they may need to be in a museum, and so full of polyester itโs like youโre wearing a plastic bag. When I pack to go away I always pack a book, then a back-up book, forgetting that I donโt often end up reading anything. Half of the suitcase clothes remain folded neatly and untouched. I never get to play any of those retro games.
