One of the best, most helpful books ever written is Clutter's Last Stand (Don Aslett, 1984. Mr. Aslett was a professional cleaner for decades, with his own business. An updated version of the original book was published in 2005, but both versions are incredibly well written, and one thing Mr. Aslett states is that if a person wants to really live, they need to pare down to what's actually meaningful, what's really right for a person, not just have/acquire stuff to have it to show off. Nobody else cares at all what you have--and eventually, your stuff and junk owns you, not the other way around.

I like minimalism and dont at the same time depending on my mood. Which is why, in my house, I have minimalist rooms that are open and white and have lots of space and rooms that are not minimalist but warm and cozy in color with lots of wood. I have two rooms like this, my study/library room where I stash antiques I buy and my attic which is a bar/game room with a cafe corner. Ever other room is really zen and spacious.

When my husband passed away 10 years ago I sold my home in Florida furnished. When I left I literally took 3 suitcases. I realized that everything I owned was going to belong to someone else eventually and I wanted to decide when. I now have another home but I do not have things that own me. I just want peace and tranquility for my old age with a minimal amount of things I love.

I feel like the hardest part about this for me is my family not approving. I enjoyed Spongebob Squarepants as a kid, so my mom still buys Spongebob stuff and gives it to me today. Im 25 she will spend 5 on 5 gaudy dollar store items instead of using the 5 for one decent item. She is also a borderline hoarder though.

I always confused, that everybody says that buying things make people happy. I always feel so bad, when I bought something because I spent money and after buying it I regret it. But mostly I buy stuff I need (or my heart need) so after rethinking it I am mostly happy (but I never had fail buys)

I've started using your 30 Days To Minimalism decluttering checklist.
I honestly feel happier, less stressed, and I'm so much more productive at home and at work even with a 2 month old baby. I'm shocked. I wish I had adopted this lifestyle sooner.
