Keep It Simple Stupid

Growing up my parents instilled a very esoteric value set in me and my brother. I have always tried to keep my life as uncluttered as possible. A part of me really likes being that way, Enjoying simple things in life, makes life so much enjoyable. My first love is rain, I just love getting wet in the rain more than anything else.

My mom and dad always taught me about inner beauty, not to grab more than you need, mostly to live a good life. As, I’ve mentioned in my earlier posts, my parents have been very protective of me. But, It only takes a television to bombard your mind with a host of alien ideas. You’re taught about admiring inner beauty and Walla ! You see girls trying to look pretty. You’re told that food shelter and clothes are all you need buy anywhere you look you have people trying to market stuff to you perhaps you can easily live without.

Every passing year I feel my life a little more cluttered. I wonder if I want to dabble in main stream materialism ( I sometimes feel an urge to do something that might shock me out of my skin, like breaking the rules ) or maybe stick with living a very simple life. I’m sure a lot of us ask ourselves the same Question. I sometimes wonder what makes other people tick. You meet people who just like to drink Coke, they only go out with blondes, they would only ever drive a Honda. I’m perhaps just the opposite, maybe I just too afraid to make that choice. Does making those specific choices make life simpler to live?

I recently learnt about the 100 Things challenge and it’s almost impossible for me to reduce the stuff I already have, lol. But it has stopped me from taking on new unneeded stuff.

I think extending the idea to my daily life might be kind of nice, sometimes I feel my life is cluttered with so many unneeded things. Perhaps streamlining it will make it more livable.

I Know I’ve not been posting for a while, I just don’t have any creative inspiration these days, any Ideas from you guys would be greatly welcome.
