There is so much parking space, but she is not in her car today.
Delicious lunch in a small cafe, buying a glamor magazine and an intellectual book from the roadside vendor, followed by a lazy afternoon in the salon getting a facial done is her idea of pure bliss.
The road still looks deserted at 4 pm. She hails a cab to visit the club where she has put up her discarded belongings for sale.
Minimalism is letting go – shedding burdens to enjoy what you truly love doing. The world may see her as a hedonist. Who cares, anyway?

Do what makes you truly happy in your heart. It is a concept that I dearly love and try to adopt in my life. But I had a question when I initially read this: she is not in her car, which means she let go of that along with other things that she discarded. Is that correct?

True that. Shedding things only to buy new minimalist ones often beats the purpose 🙂 Thank you, Bill!

She’s making choices about how to live her life, and being true to herself rather than others’s expectations. That takes courage.

Courage is a strength undoubtedly, but makes others see red. Problems begin at that point.
