Yes, I am a minimalist. I changed my mind during the COVID-19 pandemic. I cleaned out the closet and stopped buying new clothes and bags.
Benefits of a minimalist lifestyle
- Easy to clean
- More free space
- Save money
- Less stress
I returned to my hometown this month. I took only one carry-on bag and one backpack. While traveling, I stayed at budget hotels. I used the hotel-provided pajamas and complimentary disposable slippers, shampoo, body lotion, and pens. I was fine.
I don’t need to compare myself to others now. I feel happier than before.

Thank you!😊
“I love this perspective. There is so much quiet power in realizing that ‘less’ truly creates room for ‘more’—more peace, more freedom, and more happiness. Your travel story is such a great example of how liberation comes from letting go of the excess. Thank you for the inspiration!
I think living simply is better. I shared the Japanese word 衣食住 before. For living, 3 basic needs are 食 (food), 衣 (clothing), and 住 (shelter/housing). Some people may add water to them…🙂
“That is a great point, Lili. Bringing it back to the core necessities—food, clothing, and shelter—really helps clarify what is actually essential. It’s a wonderful reminder that minimalism isn’t just about ‘less,’ but about focusing on what is truly foundational.”
Yes I do….lovely post
