The only material possession I am attached to are my books. I buy maybe two pieces of clothing a year. No accessories like a watch. My phone is some Chinese garbage. I hate cars. Food I eat only because I have to.
I feel empty.

ill fill u up
Did you expect material possessions to fulfill you?
I wish I was like a funkopop collector, they seem blissfully happy but I can never achieve that
Same. It’s because I am a lazy coward
I hate to repeat myself but I absolutely hate living and the only refuge I can find is in books
I am losing my attachment to my books. Probably 70% of them are easily available online for free. The rest I could scan and upload myself and free myself from 5 bookshelves worth of space and worry by buying an eReader that fits in a small bag.
Honest question - whether minamilist or “maxamilist" how does this affect one disposition to the world? It seems that when people become less engaged to the material world they want to reduce and eliminate their possessions? But what is the real connection and motivation? It almost seems like a form of depression.
Less items = less space needed to live in = less you have to work to pay for rent/house. If you live in one bag you can freely travel the world without worry like a monk. Also less items = less mind clutter and don't have to spend any time thinking about possessions. What will happen to them? When do I have to clean them? I need new furniture etc.
I can't travel the world because I don't know how and am too scared
Me too I said that but I haven't left my room in 12 years
I can't even find anywhere in my country I want to live let alone in the world I can visit
I feel so helpless
istanbul
I am American. I have dream since I was 14 to move to Europe but I am scared to leave the safety of my mom and home
Europe definitely sounds better than here. I don't even have family tying me down. And I haven't felt home in ages
I feel the same, I live in some islands in bum frick nowhere in Africa.
I wish I lived in continental europe so I could take 1 day car trips to my zones of interest
Comoros….Canaries….whats life like there?
Pretty normal I think although I haven't got much to compare it to.
Pretty much European quality of life and services in a bit more of an exotic location, except we're one of the poorest areas of the country and getting flooded by tourists and digital nomads.
The future is not looking bright but alas
>tourists
Meant migrants, tourists are not really an issue imo
I get that, I read 50% of my books on my phone now but I still buy physical books, even if I've read them on my phone.
I just kind of like owning it as a trophy and collectors item. Although ironically it does drain me quite some money
I stopped buying when I checked my statements one day and realized I spent $700 in one month on books. So cheap and easy on ebay you don't even realize how much you are spending. $7 adds up
stop reading brainlet tier books
I actually have the highest IQ books probably on this board. Never seen anyone come remotely close
thats because i stopped posting my shelves years ago
I've been in the shelves thread for many years and only seen maybe one or two that rival mine
aren't you the anon that used to have that same horizontal shelf under a window filled with Landmark histories? and a pith helmet on the side?
Not my shelf so i dunno
your shelves are unrivaled
>spending shelf points on kneechee
lmao u played urself
>Not a single book
wtf
Don’t be so wienery - imprint society, heritage,folio are nice but your shelves give the vibe that you care more about the aesthetics of your shelf rather than the content.
Well if it isn’t Wagnergay
>Food I eat only because I have to.
Not eating enough food causes depression
You need a weapon and a set of armor.
No I'm not kidding.
That was me a few years ago, but it changed, and now I dont buy books or read them really, and I'm into clothes. Still totally empty though
anyway im at uni right now and don't have access to all my shelves but i assure you they are very prestigious
suddenly i am filled with a sadness and longing to see our old friend oxfordanon again. i hope he found his english rose.
I've been starting to feel America is an evil country. Like diabolical.
I see nothing wrong with this. I am somewhat envious actually.
I havent bought a single piece of clothing in like 5 years.
