A simple and minimalist life, to me, is one where peace outweighs pressure. It’s not about living with less just for the sake of it, but about having only what truly matters. I grew up in a family of five children, and while it’s never boring, it can be overwhelming sometimes. There’s always noise, sharing, and adjusting. From those experiences, I learned early that too much of anything even love and company can become stressful when it’s not balanced.
That’s why I picture my future differently. I want a calmer space,maybe a cozy apartment or a simple house with white walls, natural light, and plants by the window. I want to own things, but each one should have a purpose. I don’t want to keep clothes I never wear or buy new gadgets just because they’re trending. For me, simplicity means freeing my mind from unnecessary clutter.
When it comes to family, I think I will apply the same idea. I love my siblings deeply, but I’ve seen how much our parents sacrifice financially and emotionally just to make five children comfortable. That taught me that minimalism also means being realistic. So for me, three children would be enough. Not because I love kids less, but because I want to give more attention, care, and resources to each one.
In a minimalist life, I would rather spend money on meaningful experiences than expensive possessions that has no meaning or just because of trend, right from time I'm a type of person that doesn't follow trends,I just do me and that's enough for me. I imagine days filled with peace, reading, cooking, taking evening walks, and maybe traveling once in a while to see nature. What will be absent are chaos, pressure to impress, and the endless desire to keep up with others.
To me, minimalism is not just a lifestyle,it’s a mindset that says..
"I already have enough.”
