I have always been intrigued by the notion of living out of a suitcase. Having your whole life fitting into a 4x4 feet box, but yet still have enough memories and experiences to last you a lifetime. I also like the idea of editing your life. Having enough to function, and to treasure what you have. It is human nature to want more - but more of what? The new and the shiny today will be replaced by the newer and the shinier tomorrow. So when is enough enough?
Which makes me come to the life with a 'small house'. A mentality as well as an entity, the house will force me to own little and treasure it. To prepare to live this mindset, presently I don't collect things - like I often don't take pictures if I am living a special moment, because I want to live it instead of documenting it. If I were to collect things, I collect experiences, relationships, knowledge and values.
And thankfully, they do not take up that much space :)
