Life After Graduation

Minimalism is a journey to find what truly makes you happy in life.  It isn't a fad about having the cleanest space with the least goods.  It isn't a switch you flip one day and spontaneously do.  You can't force yourself through getting rid of things.  You will never be able to "convert" people to minimalism.  And it certainly isn't a set number of things needed or not needed to "be a minimalist".  Everyone has their own version of what minimalism is. What minimalism is to me is finding what sparks a smile.  It's about adding meaning back into your life.  It's about remembering what really matters to you, building meaningful relationships, and not always wondering what this mad dash of society is.  It's about breaking the habit of compulsory purchasing and asking yourself "Why?"  "Why am I buying this?"

Now, as the subtitle to this blog informs you, there is a cat in this house. A curious cat. A curious and stubborn cat.  A curious and stubborn cat who is too smart

Now just as a note, these are perks I've noted about my queen. They may not be able to be applied to all queens. 1. You always have someone to ask when it comes to your outfit and makeup. 2. "Girl Talk" is a thing, and they are open to it. 3. Your skills of quick wit won't get dulled down. 4. The level of bitch that you can handle will increase. 5. You might be able to borrow some clothes. 6. Thrifting is a whole new adventure. 7. Finally, someone else who understands the pains of wearing a bra! The only downside: That bitch will abscond with your perfume.
