Positivity
I realised few days ago that I post mostly positive thoughts. It is not that I see “la vie en rose”, nor that nothing negative happens to me, nor that I am always happy.

Not to mention avoiding buying, wasting, belonging to this one-time-use society. However, I am sure I can’t live in an emptyContinue reading “Minimalism”
