I’ve been burying myself in this concept of ideal life, and through that trying to uncover precisely what it is I want and need to feel like I’m living the life I wish in the (hopefully many) years I have left. Getting to the core of ‘what I want’ is a difficult maze filled with dead ends. However, I made a spot of headway this morning when I said to myself, “wouldn’t it be nice if I had a space where I could lay out my wardrobe for the following day?”
This one small step led to a giant leap in thinking. I realized then that, perhaps, the way to the big picture is by looking at the individual pixels and aligning them in a fashion that allows me to zoom out. So I decided to make a list and through that list of simpleminded tasks and thoughts and desires discover the larger needs.
This begins my journey towards recognizing simplicity or at least what simplicity means to me.
