Proud minimalist here. I’m a lively person, but I enjoy solitude more. I love to have quiet moments as well.

Minimalism (not scantism) is at the very core of my being. When things are too much, I can’t concentrate. Too many colors, a cluttered room (even the ones properly arranged, but there’s just a lot going on). Anything that looks like it’ll give me future wahala, I let it go. I don’t desire much as well and it doesn’t mean I’m not ambitious. I just choose what ambition I want, and it’s not loudness.

I have promised myself that I’ll still get a Vinyl player so I can listen to Sade Adu, & Passenger’s songs while I sip my drink as I gaze into the sunset.

To declutter the mind, to live simply, to love quietly, these are the new practices of discipline.

The uproarious is common; the loud & aggressive are trite. Thanks for suggesting a paradigm tilt. There's beauty in simplicity.
