I never used to journal. Never. I tried to keep a diary of my things when I was a child, keeping hold of memories when I went on vacation somewhere or in case something dramatically interesting happened to me. Yet other than that…I didn’t find […]
058_BE HUMBLE
There’s something to be said about being good at what you do and letting others know. Being humble is one of those weird things that you can nail really well or mess up entirely. No one likes the cocky asshole who flaunts his/her talents on […]
057_THE HARD WAY
Are shortcuts good or bad? Is it cheating or playing fair? If you’re in a circuit race and you stray from the track, taking a shorter, easier and less technical route to get to the finish line before your opponents then yes, that’s cheating. And […]
056_CONVERSATION
This post is a throwback to article 002. Still, to this day…it has to be one of my favourite memories from last year. That’s the best part about it. It’s a memory. It doesn’t take up any physical space, I have no objects or trinkets […]
055_RESPECT YOURSELF
Have you ever noticed how you feel after you have McDonalds and you ask yourself; “why did I eat that?” You feel like shit, your stomach hurts and you’ve got a headache. It’s because McDonalds is shit food and shit food is even more shit […]
054_CONNECTION & IDENTITY
Distinguishing between connection and identity is one of the primary directives that pushed me towards minimalism in the first place. I was tired of wearing a t shirt in hopes that I would fit into some kind of social group, or that by wearing a […]
053_DOING IT WRONG
Have you ever asked yourself before you do something: ‘How did *insert random name here* do this?’ First off; bad question. You immediately search for satisfaction that someone else was able to do the same thing that you’re trying to do now? And what happens […]
052_WOUNDS INTO WISDOM
Everyone goes through shit. It’s natural. It’s a part of life. Yet somehow these painful and shitty experiences are the most influential and informative in our lives. We run into roadblocks and can’t make any headway. In the moment, it seems like there’s no way […]
051_FORGET PERFECTION
I’ve been doing art, working creatively and doing design related content for several years now. There’s a time when you’re a kid and colouring outside the lines becomes bad, frowned upon by adults and your friends. So you tighten up and do your best to […]
050_MY MINIMALIST WORKSPACE
My desk; my pride and joy, the central hub for many creative endeavours, always used to be the messiest and dirtiest desk in existence. I seriously doubt that there was any desk throughout the course of humanity that was less dirty than mine. It was […]
049_PASSION CHANGES EVERYTHING
It’s better to do it with passion or not at all. Passion is one of those terms that we throw around all the time, without genuinely thinking of what it means and the potential it holds. Passion is what breeds our excitement and dedication about […]
048_STAY FOCUSED
Staying focused all the time is hard. Being productive all the time is hard. Being consistent is hard. There’s no bs around this at all. Being good at something is insanely difficult, that’s why those few who do get really good are praised like gods […]
