Minimalistic living is not about getting rid of modern advancements and living in the stone age. It's only about keeping things that are useful, meaningful and add value to your life. While it does not place importance on material things and lavish living, minimalism is also not about denying yourself of the things you need. The less stuff you have, the less time, energy and space it takes to maintain it. It frees up your own time, energy and space to let in more love and happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat one person values is different from another.
