@m455 ooh! i've...never really thought about it that way before! but that's mostly because my own minimalism was always sourced in making my own scarcity more comfortable aesthetically
i think this is why i would always gravitate towards having the few things i did use be incredibly versatile, because even if i couldn't do everything well, at least i could at all
but that's also super-detached from having…minimal needs, which i guess a lot of minimalism comes from too?
