Why I don't want stuff
I can appreciate the sentiment, but I actually like <i>doing</i> things. Don&#x27;t get me wrong, I probably spend much more time than most in front of my computer, but even so.<p>I&#x27;m a photographer -&gt; Two bags full of camera gear, tripod...<p>I&#x27;m a hiker&#x2F;backpacker -&gt; Backpack, tent, sleeping bag, hiking boots...<p>I&#x27;m a cyclist -&gt; Bike, helmet, gloves, pump...<p>I&#x27;m a computer engineer -&gt; Solder station, wire cutters, crimping tools...<p>I&#x27;m a DIYer -&gt; Saws, hammers, screwdrivers...<p>I would love to have less stuff, but the amount of myself that I would have to strip away for it to make sense is mind boggling to me. I go looking to get rid of stuff all the time, but even though I have a lot of things, I <i>use</i> all of them. I truly can&#x27;t wrap my head around the idea of living a fulfilling life with only a laptop and whatever furnishings came with my apartment.
