Student fish
Pursue inner minimalism more than material things
In recent years, there are many articles and videos sharing "minimalism" life on online platforms such as Douban, Zhihu and Bili Bili, and "minimalism" has become a craze.
Two years ago, Xiao Yu (pseudonym), a student, shared her feelings of five years of minimalist life with netizens on Zhihu. In these five years, Xiaoyu's minimalist life was not smooth sailing, but she still felt the influence of minimalist life on her.
In the post, Xiao Yu said that when she first went to college, her monthly living expenses ranged from 1, 000 yuan to 1, and 500 yuan. Later, when I became a tutor, I got more money, and my monthly expenses increased to 1500 yuan to 3,000 yuan. With the increasing number of items, it is difficult for small fish to keep it simple.
After a semester of "chaos", Xiaoyu rearranged her mood and started a minimalist life again. She cleaned the dormitory again and threw away useless things. Besides attending classes, doing homework, tutoring and reading in the library all day on weekends, she also developed the habit of running in the morning.
In the following days, Xiao Yu had a different understanding and understanding of "minimalism" because of going abroad and changes in social relations. She streamlined her communication relationship, focused her time and energy on important things, and realized that friends with positive energy around her would continue to have a positive impact. When she graduated, Xiaoyu sorted out many things. After customs clearance, her luggage can be packed into suitcases and backpacks.
Even so, Xiaoyu said that she is still curious about the world, can accept new things and new ideas, and feels that ordinary life is everyday.
Similar to Xiaoyu (a pseudonym), there was still a period of time when I lived a "minimalist" life at school. Shi Yu said that her life is not a "minimalist" life in the standard sense. "I think for many people who live a minimalist life, I have too many things, but I only buy what I need. I don't think minimalism has a hard standard, but I think it brings me internal minimalism. " It's time to say.
"Beipiao" businesswoman
Minimalism is "another kind of possession"
Two years ago, Ms. Shang, who had been drifting in the North for several years, finally got her own house in Beijing, but because of limited funds, the house area was not large. When moving, Ms. Shang has to throw away a lot of things. "It hurts when you throw it, but it's also a little cold." What Ms. Shang didn't expect was that she felt particularly comfortable when she saw that there were few things at home, so she began to give up the habit of "buying in buy buy" and tried a life of "breaking, giving up and leaving".
"Minimalism is not nothing, but another kind of possession." Ms. Shang told the reporter of Beiqing Daily.
Ms. Shang said that at the beginning, she would also be unable to control her consumption. "After all, I just moved to a new home and feel that I have to buy everything." But slowly, Ms. Shang found that some things were not checked out immediately after they were put into the shopping cart. After two or three days, she will find it really unnecessary to buy it, so she gives up. Now she will only buy them.
