People see my apartment and often describe me or my lifestyle as minimalist.
I don't like labeling people or being labeled, but if anything, a more apt label would be maximalist.
You might see the lack of stuff, but my focus is on values, relationships, self-awareness, free time, fun, joy, mental freedom, physical freedom, simplicity, space, delicious food, beauty, fitness, social and emotional skills, happiness, emotional reward, and so on.
You can't see those things, but I focus on them. The more joy I create in my life, the more I want to create more, which a TV gets in the way of for me.
