( 8:30 PM ) shut up christine
man·i·fes·to
a public declaration of intentions, opinions, objectives, or motives i like this idea. a written compass
what principles do you live by?
i have a list that i will write out in pieces over the next few days
i aspire to be a minimalist (as i type on a macbook)
the truth is i am far, far from it
the above picture is Pickles with her most prized possession - an old plastic shopping bag, in leopard print (diva)
Pickles needs only a few things to be happy:
food, water, shelter, litter box, piece of string, old shopping bag, and love & hugs
oh to live the simple life of a kitty, and to be perfectly happy with only these things.
i struggle between a simple life and a strong desire to consume
i know i will continue to buy things that are trivial or unnecessary
but my goal is to have a happy medium
and to make better choices as a consumer, as often as possible
including clothing that is sweat-shop free
products that are fair-trade
food that is organic or non-gmo
this also includes respecting and being grateful for everything i already have
and being mindful of the amount of waste i create and dispose of
