I am a former minimalist........but I was never the type that threw out all their stuff. I was the type that didn't buy the stuff to begin with. I don't declutter. I use up and wear out what I have. I am conservative. I don't believe in decluttering or dieting. Those two things are first-world problems. We have a lot of stuff and a lot of food. If we didn't have so much, we would have no need to declutter or diet. But I'm not complaining. I feel so rich because of the abundance. Now I just have what I need, want, & brings me joy, and I don't have what I don't need.
