What exactly does one mean by simplicity?
Before I explain that, let me make a few basics clear for you. I
am not talking about simplicity as minimalism in the sense of a fashion style
of interior design choice. My idea of simplicity has definitely been inspired by
minimalism, though.
The simplicity I talk about is a lifestyle choice. I have been intrigued by minimalism for a long time – I
tried to apply it to my life in bits and parts. Changing your lifestyle is a
big thing. Over time, I realized that that level of minimalism is not for me. I
cannot be that extreme, living with 50 possessions or spending a month in 22
articles of clothing or suchlike. I absolutely admire the people who can do that, but it's just not for me.
