Post 4: Maybe Less is More.

A pic of my bookshelf cause everytime I see it, I feel very happy.

A few years ago, I watched a Netflix series named Tidying up! and I ventured into the more organized lifestyle. I cleaned my closet (to this day I try to remove things that I do not use or I do not like), I ordered my clothes as Marie Kondo advises and, also, by color. I threw away many things that I did not use and I stopped buying impulsively ... except in cyberdays, there I always take the opportunity to buy cheaper books. Which brings me to the following: In the Marie series I advised not having more than 100 books. How? How was I going to do that? Well, I refused...and with time I discovered that the things that one collects can be preserved, although always keeping in mind that they really make us happy.

Living life with that mentality of not having more just because you can or, cause you have the space, made me feel calm. I think that since I was a child I already had a little of that incorporated in my mind, I did not make scandals for not having what I wanted. I always had the need to collect things; before toys (Little Pets), now books. But now I can have more control over it.
It took me a while to learn not to cling to things, to learn it doesn't make you happy to have more. Today everything around us encourages us to want things, we are letting that influence make us horrible people and, even more importantly, it is leading us to our own extinction.

Look around you and list the things that are important to you or that have a purpose in your life, you will realize that, of most of them, you do not even know why or since when you had them.
