Timeless

There are things in the world that doesn't wait. My choice of becoming a minimalist didn't wait because I was already in a process of becoming a minimalist. The strange thing that one thing leads to another. Like all things in life there is just one thing that doesn't wait: Time.

So being an minimalist doesn't require a list of just 100 items that I own. But time and energy to get rid of stuff. Decisions about keep or get rid off things made me look different at the things I have. I try to look for timeless pieces and memorable things to keep. 

For example I have folded a lot of paper cranes but I don't want to trow it away. It's such a waste. And there is nothing I can do about it right now. So I did decided to keep it. And yes origami is timeless. Paper folding is an ancient tradition in Asia.

So looking at my toothbrush which I should trow away months ago. I got an idea of throwing it in my bathroom basket and getting a new one from the stash. I know that toothbrushes are only meant to go along for just 3 months but I just get used to it. 

But over time I got to learn that it's just stuff. I can live without it or replace it with something I already have. Looking at the attic full of my stuff makes me want to trow away a lot of stuff.
