We have brains so complex that we like to turn simple matters into entangled piles of messes. Maybe by doing so, it allow us to feel smart, or just to feel something. Maybe we just assume that we are suppose to greedily want more in life. Or maybe we are confused with what makes us happy and what makes us feel complete.
This month, for the whole of February, I'm going to challenge myself, to live minimally. To hold my tongue before I utter any words of complaint, to take a deep breath before I decide to not like a person for what I observed from afar. I want to challenge myself to think twice before I go ahead and splurge on those pumps or that overpriced scoop of ice cream that I do not need and have no reason to spend on. I will challenge myself to settle with the simplest meals, as food should nourish our bodies and not be the sole satisfaction in life. I will not search high and low for company to spend my free time with me, but to embrace whatever and whoever I have by my side, to appreciate those around me and love them for they are all I need.
I want to learn the most out of the least in February, and hopefully change my view on life a little.
