"How Practical Minimalism Helps Me Focus" by David Kadavy talks about Kadavy's experience with giving up his possessions and living in Colombia with only a few of his belongings. A strong point that Kadavy brings up in his article is "if you let your possessions pile up, they will begin to cloud your thinking." That quote resonated with me because over the past few years I have realized my lack of desire for an abundance of material objects. I remember growing up as a kid an always wanting the latest video game, or toy that came out. And while I knew I wasn't always going to get it, I still had the desire for it. But as I have matured into a young adult, I have realized that I only desire a few essential things, and the rest does not really interest in. The experiences I make with the those around me are much more impactful than the so-called pleasures derived from material possessions. Not only do I appreciate the time I spend with friends and family which can't be bought, but I also appreciate what I do have more than if I were to became oversaturated with expendable merchandise.
