Minimalism as a lifestyle

About minimalism as a lifestyle & inspiration.

I love being focused on my life and travel, not on the material things. But you don't have to be too extreme about it. Sometimes it's hard for me being "fully minimalist" ( I mean my mind sometimes whispers it to me) due to my job - I'm a fashion photographer, stylist and graphic designer. To make it short - I'm an artists, so it's especially hard for me.

And yes, - I do have a lot of things because of it: my camera & photographic equipment, make-up (sometimes I do it for the shoots), pencils and paints for drawing, basic clothing for styling models and etc.

When I see all of these things, sometimes I get a little bit sad, because I want it to be more compact. I would like to take less things with me when I travel. But I realize that having all those things is actually necessary for me, for my job, it doesn't make me less minimalist nor a bad person.

You just need to find what works best for you and realize that that everything has to be in modelration, you don't have to too hard on yourslef. Just enjoy your journey.

And what works best for you? I will be happu to hear your opinion in the comments below.
Hugs.

Nostalgic mood. The Diary

I've been in some kind of nostalgic mood recently. 

I miss that warm air, when it's so hot and sometimes it feels like you can't even breathe. Heavy rains, the spices and exotic fruits. I love Asia, I love its atmosphere, it's mood. Sometimes I hate it though... But it's a coming-going thing like everything else in our lives... I mostly hate it because I still feel an outsider when I'm there. And I will always be. 
But it's OK. I still can observe it and get inspired by it. I still can love it and appreciate it's beauty. Sometimes I feel like I was born in a wrong place. Everybody wants to live in Europe, but when I stay there for several months, I feel like a prisoner. I get bored of that calmness... I need to shake my mind and fill it with some Asian craziness...
