< The Pursuit of Less: Anyone Else on This Journey?
~lufte Next drink is on me, really resonate with your words here. I've often find myself of the mindset "if I get rid of everything I'll be happy and able to breathe". But then there's sadness when I get rid of something and months/years realize I want that one thing.
But if I instead focus filtering what I add, and making use of what I have, I feel it's a more sustainable path to happiness.
The things we have, we originally got because they brought us joy, or solved a need, and chances are they can continue to do that if we stop looking at the next shiny thing. When we do need to add to our collection, being conscious of quality, durability and life-time usefulness helps complete this cycle. We'll grow bored of it sure, but when we again take a step back and look at what we have, that thing will still be able to fill a need.
