Outstanding Minimalists Blogs in no particular order.

#KISS - A thorny issue

✨"Some people think that you can only call a family a ‘family’ if it has three members, i.e. at least one son or daughter. But a marriage is a family! So, so far, my wife and I have decided to remain childless until now, and we are sticking to it." @aaalviarez

Fewer- Deeper Relationships.

✨"Aside from my fear of becoming lonely, I grew up with the idea of not cutting people off because no one knows tomorrow, but at a point, I had to stop thinking about tomorrow and focus on the present.
But, despite making up my mind to prioritize my well-being in the relationships I was involved in, I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. " @george-dee

Why Are You So Angry??

✨"During my self-reflection, I realized that part of this rage stemmed from not having things go my way. I have had a wishlist since the end of last year, where I wrote the most important things that I needed." @terjix

What To Do With Change

✨"I don’t usually expect my friends to be all jolly when I change. I don’t know when I changed, nor am I even sure if I’ve truly changed. I heard this quote that says, “People don’t change. It’s just a part of them that you didn’t know existed.” " @jhymi

Minimalism Impact On Relationships

✨"Our phones are fully charged, there is a power bank to use even if the battery percentage reduces. We have enough movies to watch on our phones and the weather is freezing. So I don't see any reason why we should put on the generator”, I said while she frowned." @rukkie

Empathy

✨"I remember always getting so aggravated as a kid whenever I'd return home from school to find my room in disarray. My siblings always had one or more of their possessions idly lying somewhere in my room and instead of searching for such possessions calmly, they had this habit of turning every single thing over during their search." @wongi

A World with Different Opinions

✨"My friends are the kind of people who do not judge and they feel like everyone decides how they choose to live their lives. Everyone has a choice on if they want to be a minimalist or want to be extravagant. It’s just a matter of choice and I appreciate that they also have a simplified kind of life." @beeeee

It Just Happens

✨"One truth that I found hard to accept is that not all people you meet are destined to be in your life. I am known for getting ahead of myself, especially with people I let into my life. I can have a full visual of all we could accomplish as a team until once again, we get to that junction where we want different things, and I never hold it against them. " @deraaa

Just Let Me Breathe

✨"Over the years, it’s been a hassle for me at home because I’m always trying to clear my space, either donate or upcycle somethings. In one of those clearing projects, I took out a lot of old items. From teddy bears, to shoes, to bags to jewelries." @abenad

Living life on my own terms

✨"I remember asking an elder why people have buildings as tall as that except it’s for business or that they wished to live forever. “Well, that’s how rich people do” was the response I got. “Even if I had the money, I would have buildings that’s as big as that in multiple towns. “Oh, that’s nice”, I said." @storygoddess

Some additional tips

🔸 The community encourages authors to engage and build rapport with other team members by leaving meaningful comments.

🔸 If possible we recommend that authors try to use original photos taken by you. Photos count toward the possibility of your post being curated.

🔸 Just a reminder that the weekly #KISS Blog Ideas is presented with ideas on topics to write about and to help you to structure your blogs, they are not meant to be questionnaires for you to list information and publish.

🔸 The presentation of your blog goes a long way and sharing aspects of your lives and your personal stories and experiences should be a lot more than a list that can be found in various places over the web.

🔸 You do not need to wait or only blog in response to the prompts provided. You're free to share any aspect of your minimalist lifestyle anytime.
