Starting on a journey...

So this is my first post ever and I want to use it to talk about life. I already know what you are probably thinking! “This girl is about to get real deep on us!” And truthfully I kind of am but not too much. Let's just see how this goes...bear with me people.

I was having a conversation with one of my friends (who are all the dopest people ever might I add) and we got on the subject of minimalism. I had never heard of the term before but I was quite intrigued by the idea of this lifestyle. Honestly, what intrigued me more was the idea that I was having a conversation and being enlightened about a lifestyle that sounded a lot like the life I was already living. If you don’t know, minimalism is about having the space and freedom in your life for what really matters. Minimalists describe minimalism as “a lifestyle that helps people question what things add value to their lives. By clearing the clutter from life’s path, we can all make room for the most important aspects of life: health, relationships, passion, growth, and contribution”. I don’t know about you but for me that was DOPE. 

Everyday I wake up with the intentions of contributing to the world in a beneficial way and letting energy into my world that does the same. Being able to weed out negativity and pessimism is what I have been currently working on. I just want to surround myself with all things genuine and pure. I have learned that no matter how my circumstances may seem, I have the control to be the change that I wish to see. I believe that life is more than money and material things. Yes we need money to live but I believe that is truly what we should use it for, TO LIVE. We should be mindful of the things we buy and how it makes us feel. I want the majority of the things I purchase to contribute to my life. I want to spend my money on helping others, traveling the world and embarking on new experiences. That is what I want my life to be about. I want to make beautiful memories with beautiful people. Now I know what you’re thinking, “this is where she has gotten deep on us”. I know it seems like a lot to take in and think about and trust me I am still trying to figure it out myself. I am a 25 year old evolving minimalist and I can guarantee you that I will look completely different and view minimalism completely different than a 20 year old or even 30 year old minimalist. 

All in all we all just want to find freedom and these are the things that I believe will allow me to find the freedom I long for. Freedom from fear, freedom from worry, and freedom from any guilt. REAL FREEDOM. I’m still learning and evolving and I look forward to my journey. Join me if you like. :)
