Minimalism more commercial

Minimalism has changed in the last few years. When I started, there wasn't really a lot of blog, vlog or channels. I am still a minimalist and I am loving the vibe that I have been creating for the last past 7 years in my life.

I got a better relationship with my stuff. I know what I want and got rid of a lot of other things. I still buy but much lesser. In the past 5 years I have been wearing my jeans until it fell apart and got new ones to replace them. I am also trying to not buy bags which is futile especially when I was in Japan.

I even got two wallets which is bigger but good for travel outside of Europe. Especially in Korea and in Japan where they use huge bills. 

Minimalism still plays a huge role in my life but the way it's been promoted on different platforms like buying into minimalism is so not environment friendly. I kinda find it horrible when people throw things away just to buy the same product but aesthetically pleasing or environment friendly. How environment friendly are you when you throw something away that cost energy and money to produce. 

I also don't buy into the hype of particular brands being good/green. I think learning and thinking out of the box is way more important and really reducing my footprint (travel excluded). I already wrote about it before, minimalism is for everyone different. But I think the best starting point is reflect on what you have and what it brings you. Step 2: what do you want, what is your ideal living situation. Last step is taking action to achieve step 2.
