This was lovely. Thank you. I really enjoyed the point of not OWNING things but being CUSTODIANS. This gave me a small sense of peace. Thanks again. :)
A prior home owner in only 5 years sadly left behind lots of damage, leaks and repairs. The prior story was likely a bit dark but over time have fixed things, learned some new handy skills, and have been a better custodian. I selected a just right amount of furnishings rather than overbuy too much crap. Enjoyed learning of this philosophy.
New subscriber here. I love your philosophical approach to minimalism. I'm probably around your age, and resonate with that maturity that comes from life experience and how that translates to minimalism. ❤
I love old architecture and people that renovate/RESTORE old house believe that they are simply the guardians or caretakers of these gorgeous craftsmanship. Unfortunately the real estate market in Ontario Canada is making this act of love out of financial grip going forward. Love this concept
I study law and securities banking and it might shock you reading this to know that you don't actually own anything... if you look at the title deed to the house (even if you've paid the whole thing off) youre listed as a tenant, and why is your car registered with the crown or the state corporation? Because they actually own it you do not own anything. You are merely using it. Guess what? You don't even own the legal name printed on the birth certificate that you use, the state created that too and they hold that security in trust at their registrar office.
