Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify. #henrydavidthoreau .

One of the best things about travel is the simplicity. Being on the road is simple. Everything I need is with me. Everything has a purpose. It feels right to me. .
It’s amazing how different that can be from my day to day life. I’m cleaning out my closet this weekend and utterly embarrassed by the amount of stuff. Stuff I don’t use. Stuff I don’t need. Just taking up physical and mental space.
.

I’ve always been extra conscious about “the feeling of a place”. I love the feeling of lightness. Without all the stuff. The feeling of waking up in the back of my car with a backpack and a water bottle. Because that’s all I need. Everything has a purpose. And it feels light. .
.
So I’m going back into my closet later on this beautiful Sunday to battle with the stuff. To make my whole life align with the parts I love the most. To feel light. Because feelings are important. It’s a little woo woo, but the energy and dare I say vibe of our surroundings affect us. .
.
And I want mine to be light.
