You sir are living the life I’m a minimalist pleb my living room is literally empty but your on to something there.
Discussion
minimalism is nice.
its' a great indication that your life was faaaar too complicated and its largely a psychological idopathic detox response.
great step in the right direction.
may i suggest a fountain pen and a pad of vellum paper and daily journaling at the end of the day?
look into kaweco sport, with a cartridge converter, a bottle of j herbin ink, and a pad of claire fontaine paper. you'd be surprised how much a simple ritual like this adds to your overall clarity.
also: I'm just a guy.. but i like to help where i can and see i might be of use. i've lived a lot but i am again also just a guy. :) all thanks go to our heavenly father..for making me exactly what i am. no more no less
I will definitely give that a try for sure, i have done “digital diaries” but there is something about a great ink pen and paper that just cant be matched. I do love reading books to “escape” but self thought and reflection something i do lack at in this moment. Ive almost had my dial turned up trying ti get as much as i can out of my day and not thought about the self therapeutics as no ones approached me in this way for some time. I appreciate the responses and advice!
you are so welcome :)
there's a great deal missing from digital. its entirely disconnected from what it means to EXPRESS .... --YOU.--
There's no substitute.
you wind up enjoying the screw ups as you write, and really enjoying the feedback... your mind is connected directly to the paper... you learn a lot about yourself.. especially once you learn to just let go and write whats on your mind.. its very revealing..
ps - worth mentioning - the 25$ kaweco sport will write just as well as the fancy looking 85$ aluminum models...
look up j herbin 1670 inks if you want to see the one i mentioned its "emerald du chivor" 1670 series.
there is no substitute for time spent with self.. its a direct investment you can't do better, in therapy , with friends, or otherwise. its INTROSPECTION. there is no substitute. <3
