Minimalism, Practiced

Daily writing prompt
Do you believe in minimalism?

Yes.

Especially when it comes to answering questions WordPress already asked less than a month ago.

In May, WordPress asked about the biggest benefits of minimalist living, and I wrote an entire post about the kind of minimalism I believe in — not the weird kind, not the empty-room-as-a-personality kind, but the normal kind where maybe you don’t keep every cord, box, broken appliance, and emotional support receipt you’ve collected since 2009.

And now, here we are again.

“Do you believe in minimalism?”

Apparently I believe in it enough to give this prompt the minimalist answer it deserves.

Yes.

There.

Look at all the space we saved.

    WordPress has more than its share of annoying things. I have a few posts called gripes about wordpress. This would make the list.
