Sometimes the things we want the most end up destroying us ... The best thing I ever did was just let go of everything (including my toxic family) ... My very life depended on it ...

My therapist asked me if I was sure this is what I wanted to do to which I responded ... It's just stuff ... I can always get more stuff ... If I stay where I am it's gonna end up killing me and then I can never have any more stuff ever again ...

That was 19 years ago ... I've been living as a minimalist ever since, and it truly is the best thing I ever did for my physical and emotional well being ...
