Minimalist Lifestyle

I have always seen myself as a minimalist which is best defined as:

I was never big on material things nor following trends, I usually just did what I thought brought me peace. I guess this came out of my childhood, where I saw in others what a focuing on things and addictions can do to someone. This is more true than ever because I have little control over my personal freedom and can therefore only try to channel what few choices I have towards finding anything that will help me cope*.

* Cope best describes the survival of life as happiness is largely a state of mind. What are your views on a Minimalist Lifestyle?

It would be a rugged life and most often shorter in years but much more peaceful being in tune with the land around you.

Yes one should do this no matter where you are but I think it is hard for many. We far to often listen to others or media that put thoughts in our head that this or doing that will make us happier. Biggest for me is remove clutter and only have what I need.

I would love to adopt this way of being, however, I think I would be more of a hoarder physically and mentally. I think it comes from being overly sentimental. My job could allow for this, however a minimalist garden doesn't have the same appeal to me as a garden filled with lost of different species. I do believe people need to take away something to make their lives less hectic. I should take my own advice.
