How did you come to adopt this mindset? I know and like the concept of wabi sabi but I haven’t internalized it yet.

I’ve been practicing regular meditation and mindfulness for a few years and seeking clarity in my life. I find the search for simplicity in my life is an ongoing journey and I’m always learning and practicing new concepts. I wouldn’t say I’m a perfectionist, but I definitely have always tried to have “perfect” things (such as, the perfect wardrobe). When I learned of Wabi Sabi, it kind of hit me that this was important for me. I began to look at the things in my life (both physical and relationships) for exactly as they are and not things that require improvement or perfection.

Does that makes sense? It’s not something I think is meant to master or reach an end, it just is.
