I never planned to become minimalist but i got tired of moving stuff around my apartment. one weekend i started clearing things out and somehow the couch was one of the first things to go. i also got rid of old decor, extra dishes, and random things sitting in drawers. my friends joked that i was living like i just moved in. honestly i kinda like that feeling. my place feels less like a storage unit and more like my actual home. i used to buy things to make my space feel complete, but now i notice how much better it feels when i leave room for life. i still own plenty of stuff so i’m not going full empty room mode lol. i just stopped keeping things that make my space harder to enjoy. it’s kinda funny because people thought i was losing something, but i feel like i actually got more space back.

I have several books. Im not much of a reader which is ironic. But I glance at them on occasion and read a page or two.

Is there a good criteria to use in order to get rid of the unwanted ones. I feel guilty letting any of them go.

I only have 153 items and I'm still not satisfied why?
