#minimalism #minimalistliving #goodbyeminimalism

So minimalism changed my life. I learned a new set of value systems that I really resonate with, it gave me the selfcontrol and discipline I need to overcome my shopping addiction, declutter my chaotic space, and even get out of over $120,000 student loan debt. Suffice to say, minimalism changed my life. But more and more I've been feeling the heat from the toxic side of minimalism that I think many may experience, but I've seen only few talk about. So today I'm sharing the toxic side of minimalism that I've personally been grappling with, and how I'm planning to approach and apply my new minimalist values moving forward into this new chapter of my life.

I also want to point out that I recognize my privilege in my experience, both good and bad, with minimalism. It's a privilege to be able to grapple over "wants vs. needs" and to voluntarily choose this lifestyle to begin with. With this video, I'm aiming to share my perspective and where I'm coming from as someone who has chosen to share this journey on the internet, and how my life has changed since taking on the label of being a "minimalist".

Let me know if you've experienced similar struggles or dissonance on your minimalist or intentional living journey. How did you overcome it?
