“Not minimalist enough?” A peaceful defense of minimalism.
Dear reader, As you may know, I consider myself to be “minimalist”. The word is, however, quite meaningless in itself and that is the reason why I am writing that post today. According to me, everyone is allowed to have their own definition, as long as it makes them happy. To me, to be a…

Why you shouldn’t care what people think.

I am not “perfect”.
I am not and I do not want to become it. The search for “perfection” does not make us happy because “perfection” is not something one can reach. Nobody would be able to define “perfection” and nobody should want to reach it. Can we reach what we can’t define ? I don’t think so. The…
