I Speak My Mind.

The last movie you watched is now your life story. How screwed are you?

The Muppets Take Manhattan. Not gonna complain.

Granted.

Why do we take so much for granted? There are things we have that others do not. I want to challenge myself to try to live without the things I don’t need.

Need. What does that word even mean? We’ve changed our vocabulary over the course of time. Let me define it: something essential or very important. Why does this sound so strange? I mean I really do need a closet overflowing with clothes and shoes. Especially since I know a few people who wear the same two pairs. Am I confusing need with want? It must be so. By definition it means a desire or wish for. I suppose I could live without the large assortment of clothes. Do I honestly like every shirt I own? Do I actually fit in everything I have? Of course not. But why do I keep them? I consider it to be the way of life. We have useless objects for the sake of having them. 

I expect I could survive without the things I want.

Challenge yourself do do the same. Live with only the absolute necessities. And a few luxuries, but only the select few.
