The Possibilities of Minimalism

I am not an expert. No, I am just a nobody who fell in love with the joy of less and the idea of minimalism.

And in the midst of a global pandemic, I left my job to pursue writing. I had no connections in the industry, no platform, no fan following, and have made almost no money compared to what I used to make in my cushy corporate job. However, I am still persevering, sustained only by the idea that maybe I don't need to have as much of the things I used to have and instead I can focus on doing the things I love. I was able to make little changes and those little changes led me to big changes. And those big changes made a big difference to the quality of my life. I am not a minimalist. I am just an aspiring minimalist.

And here I am, sitting on a stiff chair in a hot room in humid climate, doing the thing I love – write, writing about the thing that I've come to fall in love with – minimalism and living a meaningful life with greater purpose and fewer possessions.
