In the past a lot of minimalists got caught up with quantity and very basic colors, more people started giving flair to it which makes this lifestyle pretty doable.

I have noticed that also, and I'm happy about it because I like a more individualist approach to minimalism than anything formulaic.

It's so easy to accumulate stuff, that we sometimes feel as if we're going in a circle of collecting, regretting, donating, replacing etc.

It's good that you're back in your place now, and it's also a new chapter of your life since your dad passed, which might find you growing in different directions that you'll have to embrace.🤗
