Im a minimalist.
AMA.

No one seems to be getting married.

It's my idea of hell, but each to their own! 😊

Do you celebrate Christmas and birthdays?

No.
I go on hoiliday for christmas and my birthday.

I think it’s great - it must be very freeing. We all need to buy and own far, far less.

I agree!! Most of us consume far too much!!

Well, perhaps in terms of buying, but it's just a matter of preference how much you own.

Do you have any family?

One sister.

Any nephews or nieces?

No my sister didnt want any kids neither did i.

There’s a happy medium though for most of us. I am careful with what o buy. Everything I own is either useful or it makes me happy. I don’t buy fast fashion, and I buy second hand where possible.
The OP is happy with her choices, which is great, but I don’t think we all ‘need’ to live in the same way.

Do you have a car or bike?

I mean, if you choose to own lots of stuff then you are buying lots of stuff (unless you’re relying on freecycle or things being gifted to you)

I own neither.

No. I have things which belonged to my parents and my grandparents and aunts. All deceased.

Yes, that's definitely my approach.

We could all do with consuming less stuff. Most of it just ends up in landfill.

Are you a digital minimalist? Such as emails, important electronic documents etc. If so, how do you organise them?

Do you follow a system such as one thing purchased, one thing out etc?

Do you have anything on your walls?

Such a minimalist that you don’t use apostrophes.

No i look and and have looked and thought, it nice but i really dont need it.
Why would i want some vases or fake flowers, huge cushions.
More to clean or it just sits there.

No nothing, id hate it.

Do you have anything decorative in your home at all? Say a picture in each room? A rug on the floor somewhere? Are the walls plain magnolia or similar? Or are any a stronger colour or even papered?

Do you buy gifts for other people for birthdays, Christmas etc? Even if you think it's pointless or clutter?
