"You donāt need more space. You need less stuff."_
In a world where consumerism is constantly nudging us to buy, upgrade, and accumulate, a quiet revolution is taking placeāminimalism.
It's not about owning nothing. Itās about owning only what adds value to your life.
š§ What Is Minimalism?
Minimalism is a lifestyle philosophy that encourages intentional living. It means clearing the clutterāboth physical and mentalāto make space for what truly matters: purpose, peace, and presence.
Itās not about stark white walls and zero possessions. Itās about clarity.
