Me and minimalism

 I used to be this person who wants everything to be complete, everything must have in that instances, or else, i feel, angry, sad and temper. It somehow makes me lose my money, buying unnecessary things, and have  a freak mind .. its either I do it, or I do not do it.. It makes me feel anxious all the time, as I want things to be complete, everything to be in order, or I become this person who is moody and angry all the time. Turn out, I do not have to be that way. because life still can going on smoothly without everything to be in perfect order or without I push myself too hard to have it all. 

Because having that mindset isn't' going to help me, but actually making me lose sleep, making me questioned myself , and making me miserable, when  actually life is simple, and wonderful. Life can be still happen as good as possible without me having everything in order. because what I have now, is enough to get me through the day. I always remind myslef, that I have enough, that I do not have to have everyhting figure out in order for me to feel good, to feel happy. I am enough. 

I used to feel anxious all the time, when the truth is, not so many things I can control, and there isn't much I can do, except be there for me, without I have to push myself for something I cannot do. Be in the moment and be thankful for things I have now, because these things that I have now, I forgot to appreciate it, when the truth is, when I started to appreciate the things that I already have, I can breath normally. because when I am anxious, I cannot proceed to do what I should do, what I should focus. 

In order to get myself in order, I start to eliminate things that isn't beneficial to me, that do not give me any benefits at all. Then, I found out that actually, once the item is gone, I actually okay with it, I do not miss it and I can live life normally. I can live perfectly fine with things I already have instead of keeping adding clutter in my possession that cost money.

Finding Self-Confidence Through “Stay the Same”

Finding Self-Confidence Through “Stay the Same”     Growing up, music often became a source of comfort and connection, and one song that truly stood out to me was *"Stay the Same"* by Joey McIntyre. Its lyrics about self-acceptance and self-confidence resonated with me in a way that felt both reassuring and empowering. At its heart, *"Stay the Same"* is a reminder that we don’t need to change who we are to be worthy of love and acceptance—a message that was both profound and comforting, especially as a young person navigating self-doubt and the desire to fit in.

For those who don’t experience it, it can be hard to understand the invisible challenges faced by people grappling with low self-esteem. These struggles go far beyond occasional self-doubt and affect every facet of life, from relationships to careers and personal well-being. 1. The Constant Inner Critic People with low self-esteem often live with a relentless inner critic. This voice magnifies every flaw, criticizes every decision, and makes even small mistakes feel monumental. To outsiders, this might look like perfectionism or overthinking, but it’s more than that.
