Why I don't want stuff
I can appreciate the sentiment, but I actually like doing things. Don't get me wrong, I probably spend much more time than most in front of my computer, but even so.I'm a photographer -> Two bags full of camera gear, tripod...I'm a hiker/backpacker -> Backpack, tent, sleeping bag, hiking boots...I'm a cyclist -> Bike, helmet, gloves, pump...I'm a computer engineer -> Solder station, wire cutters, crimping tools...I'm a DIYer -> Saws, hammers, screwdrivers...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 use all of them. I truly can't wrap my head around the idea of living a fulfilling life with only a laptop and whatever furnishings came with my apartment.
