Im a minimalist.
AMA.

Oh well it`s just an online platform passing time, not everything needs to be prefect.

How is being a minimalist defined?

All my walls in each room are white, but i do have a bold colour wall in each room aswell.
Living room white with one orange wall, same for my bedroom, bedroom 2 white with a lime green wall.
I dont have a rug dont want one, no pittures on my walls.

Yes but i buy something that i know they like and can use.
I dont do xmas as i go away but others do and im okay with that, as they are ok with me not doing it.

Do you actually buy less, by which I guess I mean wait for things to break/become unusable before replacing them (e.g. your backpack) or is it simply a case of 'keeping less', so you decide your current backpack isn't working for your needs or you see a nicer one, so you get rid of the 'old' backpack to make room for the new one?

Sentimental stuff? Anything?

You can google that.
We all have our own inderpendent definition on it our own views.
For me having things and clutter i dont need won`t make me happy peace clearness clutter free = stress free mind.

No never have been not even as a child.

Do you ever invite them round?

I mean… speak for yourself. As I said, I buy very very carefully. I don’t buy anything I don’t need or don’t love, and doesn’t make my life better. I don’t think I need to consume less. Maybe you do, in which case you can take steps to do so. No one is stopping you.

I just dont feel the need to keep buying things when i already have something that dose the very same job, just buying something because it looks nice is not my mind set.
If i have to get something say like a new desk i get one and get rid of the old one first.

Snap!
Plus it saves time finding items I’ve lost, looking after possessions and cleaning.
And I too go away for Christmas.
Any chance you can come round and further declutter for me OP?

I’m a minimalist too, so only buy what I need, which isn’t a lot.

Yes of course they dont have to call to make anpointment just turn up.

Great!

Ok. Would you make them a meal?

How many tea towels do you own? I have loads and need some tips on decluttering them.

Have you ever thought “That (Whatever) I gave away last week/last month/last year would be just the thing now”?

We order a meal.
I have cooked for them but we rather have that takeaway, its not every day we get together.

No.

Do you have any hobbies? What are they?

Do you apply a minimalist mindset to other areas such as your diet?

Arr your clothes all very high quality / expensive?

I barely own anything myself and often fantasise about putting all of DHs and the kids stuff in a skip....

What do people get you for Christmas? What are your hobbies and interests?

What do you eat day to day if you don’t cook?

I dont ask for anything for xmass from my friends or my sister, but they get me something small, like a coffee gift set just the coffees or a small box of incense cones.
My hobbie is reading online and meditation.
