I realize now that simple living is such a backwards concept to what most think of as the perfect American suburban lifestyle. A concept where less is more, fewer is fuller, and love is felt not had really resonates with me.
I decided to donate (or sell) all the items in my household we don’t use. That means, I am going through all of our belongings, in every nook and cranny, (even on our walls and on our floors), critically and ruthlessly assessing them. I hope to have half as much “stuff” when I am done!
