A quick lesson in simplicity
Simplicity is not less. It is the essentials, it is the right amount, it is about balance. After moving out of our 1200 square foot apartment with a one car garage into a 650 square foot upstairs apartment with no garage. You quickly realize the amount if unnecessary stuff we hold on to.
