I think I should become a minimalist because..
1. I am moving....I always feel like I have too much junk when I'm moving. Treasures all of sudden turn to annoyances and I therefore think about the life of the minimalist.
2. I can be a messy slob. Maybe if I threw something away everyday, I would not have the messy slob problem.
3. I spend too much money on this stuff that causes me to become a messy slob.
4. I can't figure out how to organize the stuff I have...so why should I continue buying stuff I can't organize? Hence, the need for me to become a minimalist.
5. If I give away all the stuff I hardly use...I may make someone else happy AND I'll probably be happier in the end because I won't have to figure out how to organize it.
Can you think of more reasons to become a minimalist? Or maybe you can think of more ways for me to become one.....I'm going to start by throwing out something I hardly ever use at least once a week. Any more suggestions?
P.S...This does not mean I will not like my wedding presents as my witty cousin pointed out. I am mostly talking about the unworn clothes that have been hanging in my closet for two years, or the art projects I made in my papermaking class 3 years ago. Do I really need to be toting those things around for the rest of my life?
