There isn’t a single possession I wouldn't give to have one more day with my grandmother.
I think things are cool, and I like pretty things. But, for me, underconsumption is really just about focusing your resources, time and money, on the things that truly matter. The people and activities that fill you with joy.
In the end so much of what we buy is just… stuff.
A lot of it is crammed in cabinets, drawers, closets, and stresses us out more than anything.
To have 20 of the same water bottle that’ll wind up in a thrift store in 2 years just to be replaced by 20 of the newest IT water bottle? To buy into the next micro-trend that will be thrown away after two washes. To feel the need to consume and be stuck in this constant cycle… for what?
Not only is it unsustainable from a resource and planetary perspective, I find it’s often a symptom a of bigger internal problem. This could be a longer post but I think it mostly boils down to the fact your stuff doesn’t define you.
