#minimalist to be

LIVE

Hello! I am back after about two months of being barely active on here. I had to go to work for some time and then I was taking my final exams at school. I will try to post more from now ;)

I’m still working on reducing my number of clothes. I’ve decluttered some worn out and torn pieces of clothing (turned it to rugs or threw away).

The list doesn’t include things I have decided to sell, so they are stored by me in different place. If I can’t sell them in 2 months - I’ll donate them. There are still clothes on the list that I almost don’t wear. I will decide what to do with them in the future. Now, I’m proud of myself that I let go to so many clothes.

I’m looking forward to making similar list in the future and comparing it ;)

If you want to share with me some tips feel free to do it! Brainstorms are the best!

On my way to more minimalist lifestyle…

… and I bought second onesie

Of course pre-owned from someone who didn’t want to keep it. My pyjama is completely worn out and I became to hate sleeping wearing it. And the second onesie is used by me as party costume, I rarely sleep in it.

I doubt if I’ll become a minimalist someday. Or a true zero waster. But I swear I’m trying to live more sustainably and I’m doing best I can do.

At this point in my life I’m in continuous confusion and I must face many stressful events in the next few months. More and more often I feel anxious and alone with problems. Sometimes I even feel suicidal.

But I know it will get better.
