Everyone lives a different life and enjoys doing different things, but does living a minimal lifestyle allow one to achieve greater happiness?

Most people have a life that includes going to work all day and coming home to take care of their kids, but a minimalistic life is a little different than that. You can still have kids if you want to live a minimal life, but it will make things harder. A more formal definition of minimalists would be people who seek simplicity, usefulness, and clarity. They pursue a lifestyle that focuses less on material possessions and more on what they value in life—what makes them happy. They don’t get bogged down by non-essentials and focus on enjoying what really matters to them.

The pros of living a simple life would be fewer worries, more freedom, less stress, less spending, and truly finding peace in life. The cons of living a minimal life would be the fear of missing out on things, that it is not broadly socially accepted yet, and that it can be really hard to live one with a bigger family.

A really good quote that I like to follow is, “Learn to live with less so that you appreciate it more.” (James Ryan)

There is nothing wrong with having a ton of stuff in life. At the end of the day, do whatever makes your heart happy. Living a very simple life isn’t for everyone. Some people do enjoy living a bustling life because it allows them to always have something to do. Others (like me) would rather live a more peaceful life with less clutter to deal with.

I asked a fellow classmate (Gavin) if he would rather live a busier or simpler life, and he said, “I would rather live a busier life.” Variety is the spice of life, and I like to pursue new things and keep life engrossing. “

I asked our P.E. teacher (Mr. Blank) if he would rather live a simple or busier life, and he said, “I like the sound of both of those lives. I think living in a wood cabin on the lake would be awesome, but at the same time, I want to go to a bunch of sporting events, so I’d live both of those lives at once.” In conclusion, everyone has their own life to live, and I believe that everyone should just live a life where they can truly be happy!
