✨ Less is Now

I recently watched the documentary Less is Now, and I felt completely connected to the concept of minimalism. It’s something I’ve been living by for years, even before I knew it had a name. It all started when I moved into my small studio apartment in Argentina. That’s when I learned to live with just the essentials, with what I truly need. And when I moved to Italy with only two suitcases, this mindset became non-negotiable.

Over the last ten years, I haven’t stopped moving. Change became a constant in my life, and that naturally pushed me to adopt a minimalist approach. And honestly? I love it.

Now, even though I’ve been living in the same apartment for almost five years, I still carry that mindset of not accumulating unnecessary things. But recently, I’ve noticed that there are items in my home I no longer use—things that only take up space and gather dust, or chipped dishes that serve no purpose anymore. So, I decided it was time to take action.

I started the 30-day challenge: every day, I get rid of at least one item—whether by donating, throwing it away, or giving it to someone who needs it. I’m only one week in, and I’ve already donated so much. It feels amazing. It’s not just about clearing space—it feels like I’m clearing myself. I feel lighter, and above all, grateful. Grateful for what I have, for what I actually use, and for being able to pass on these items to someone who can give them a new life.

This mindset goes beyond my home. Even when I buy something new—clothes, for example—I always let go of something old to keep the balance. It’s a habit that helps me focus on what truly matters.

Minimalism, for me, isn’t just about objects or organization. Over time, I’ve learned to apply it in other areas of my life too. Less, but better. Fewer relationships, but more meaningful ones. Fewer distractions, fewer unnecessary thoughts. Because when you surround yourself with what truly matters, life feels clearer, lighter.

Minimalism, in the end, isn’t about having less. It’s about valuing what truly adds to your life.
