Thank You ☺️

I don’t look at my sentimental items weekly these are like an every 4 - 6 month thing. Thank You ☺️

Thank you 🫂 ♥️

I agree. They are the hardest thing. ♥️

Lovely 🥄 x

It’s good to have a revisit I think 😊

For me it’s that I know it’s the last mortal remain of the people.

Thank You ☺️

Thank You Very Much ♥️ 😊

32sqm is considered an actual Micro Tiny Home as defined by ‘Tiny Home’ parameters. That’s why I refer to it as that. 😊

That’s nice that your sister has them so you can visit them and get to see them. I can see how bigger items are sometimes harder to keep. Especially regarding taste & style etc. I think for me at the moment at least… I think to myself whilst ever my little mini pouch houses all my sentimental items in the world they’re not really causing a problem. I think the rosette’s particularly were because they didn’t have entirely fond memories. Which makes me wonder why I kept them at all. Maybe just for their significance. 🤷‍♀️ But they have been recycled now. I took them out a few days ago 😊 🏵️ I have this video to look at them if I ever feel the need. 😊

@ I’m glad my sister gets to enjoy them, but I don’t really need to see them again. Usually when I’m done, I’m done. When I was in my late 20’s I took all of my school yearbooks and my letters (I was a letter winner in sports), and threw them in the trash. I didn’t want to look at them anymore. This was actually huge for me at the time because I was on the Yearbook staff for all four years of high school, and helped design them. I’ve never missed any of these items. Your pouch is so little that it doesn’t take up much space. It’s so small it could be made into a necklace (like an Indian pouch with sacred items) worn close to your heart. ❤️

Oh I like that idea. With the necklace 😊 ♥️

I have this video 😉 😊

@@SagelifeMinimalism oh yes! 🙂

What a nasty comment. Go elsewhere if you are so unhappy with SOMEONE ELSES VIDEO!

You can't rush sentimental items.

Well… there are many reasons I’m speaking slowly in this video. 1. I have just been sick so I probably am speaking a little slower than normal. 2. I’m also speaking slowly because of the subject and I’m thinking and contemplating what to declutter as I speak. I thought I would go through the items in a ‘live’ like manner. To show my true response to them in order to be authentic. Not polished or fake. 3. I’ve also been brought up to think before I speak. So I don’t say something I may later regret. As once words are said or written, they can’t be taken back. 4. Sentimental items for most people are treated in a sentimental emotional manner, which is often slow and respectful to allow them the time they are worth. 5. I later explain in the video that all the items are items from people who have passed away, hence my somber mood in discussing them. So I don’t really know how you could call ‘this’, whatever ‘this’ means, a ‘serious exaggeration’. As all the lives of all the people remembered through these objects are definitely not an ‘exaggeration’ to me. How could you claim to know someone else’s emotions? Or say they are exaggerating them? It appears whilst listening at 1.5 speed you didn’t actually hear anything? Maybe a slow speed would be more beneficial for you? 😊 Amen 🙏

@@SagelifeMinimalism Right on Lydia. ❤

Nobody forced you to watch the whole video.

I think that may be the core of items too. The people that were truly kind to me but are now gone from this earth. But never my heart or mind ♥️ 🕊️

It is and also wondering why we feel a need perhaps either way? A need to keep or declutter it. I find the the ‘feeling’ complex and interesting 😊

Some items I stole and kept from fear of getting a choice from previous loved ones' possessions when or as they died. It turned out that I didn't 'need' the items at all. What I NEEDED was to be considered and listened too by other relatives who were more 'in charge' of those possessions and the choice to go to the home one more time and inhale the scent/view/something about that place, to maybe of taken pictures of the place as a whole, to have a 'moment to myself' or even just look through it 'one last time'. Which I didn't get to do, and I think that resentment/anger/fear/etc was what led to more miscommunication (worry I wouldn't be heard again) further on and then the stealing... and finally, the realisation of the unmet needs that only came with 'getting' (stealing) the stuff and 'letting' it go (or giving it back) later. Maybe... some items are being kept because of an unmet past or current need?

Like the brownies stuff... it is the unmet or desired need to be like 'look at what I did' that might make you hold onto them? Just a thought/story. X

With the brownies stuff it’s not about the achievement of getting the badge… but the people who helped me achieve them. Several of the badges were gained from the brownie leader, who was like a second grandma and she is no longer alive. The horse riding badge is from my riding instructor who is no longer alive. All the things in my sentimental items box are marked by mortality & death.

Thank You ☺️

I think it entirely depends on your space. For instance regarding clothes, I’ve gone back and forth with this myself. I sometimes store half my wardrobe away. Granted it’s only about 35 pieces. I’ve done things like keep my 15 pieces out that I least like and attempt to wear them out over 6 months. As if they are in a more frequent wear and wash cycle they wear out much quicker. As obviously if someone lives in a small home, like myself, it can be quite stressful to attempt to store clothes with limited space. There’s also the option to sell things on a second hand site like vinted. So you don’t feel you’re completely losing money on the items. On the other hand, if your property is quite big or at least has large closets and places to easily store things out of site. I’d say then it’s beneficial to keep the stuff until it wears out. Or maybe a balance of both. You’re Welcome 😊

@@SagelifeMinimalism I live in a rather small home, many thanks for reply, I think I will try and use them for 6 months then and get rid of items that are not as good for me over that time. Thanks I had hit a stumbling block with this.

This is the eastpak tranzpack? I’ve had it full before and this didn’t happen to me? Although I found the straps to be spaced quite far apart for someone with a narrow back or slight framed person. Which means they can be a little uncomfortable if your pack is heavy 🎒😊

It’s a nice little mini fridge freezer. There’s lots of brands that do the undercounter mini ones 😊

Thank You ☺️ That’s all lovely to hear 😊My name is Lydia 👋🏻

I'm being cheeky that I kinda fit that bill expect for the eco bit?(south of the UK, mam to toddler, mostly extreme minimalist expect for books/train track/toy Vehicles and most recently, going low tech - kiddo watches dvds, no social media expect YT, no clutter digitally, inbox zero, and one mobile game I occassionally use, one phone, one TV, no WiFi and no TV subs/streaming/music, no subscriptions of any kind, one radio, analog clock/watch, no Amazon/shopping apps etc.)

@@extrememinimalistparent Hello, yes I've recently started following you too as well as @ecofriend. Lia, yet to get through your videos. Will have to remind myself of your style of minimalism. I like your low techness :)

😂 😂 I’ve not been well. So had to choose between decluttering or getting dressed 😂. The virus took my last bit of energy to do both 😂

I can see cases for both sides. As both can at times make life easier or harder. So I am in the middle 😂 😊

Thank You ☺️

Great and great about the mosquitoes 🦟 😊

That’s great 😊

Hmmm 🤔 we kind of like sharing the bed together amongst other things 😂 also we previously had a futon but soon learnt that in such a small home, underbed storage can be a valuable storage solution. In fact it’s now our only storage. So without it the home would actually look more cluttered as we’d have to have all our clothes and personal items somewhere else more visible. It’s also only a 4ft wide small double but the room is small. Making it appear larger 😊

Decisions decisions 😊 cook more or freeze more 😊 🔥🧊

Thank You Nadège ❤️ You too 😊

Nice 😊

Except the pipes get in the way and occasionally leak. 😢 😂

@ things like recycling I would suggest could go there

Yes, although our chopping board goes over that if we want which is pretty handy 😊

Thank you ☺️

Oh wow. Sometimes more cupboards in motor homes though 😂 just not chopping space 😂

@@SagelifeMinimalism I wish I could show you but I can’t add a photo

😂 😂

He’s always there. He’s called Pedro 😂 I feed him 🐦

@ I just watched your latest video with the bird seed under your sink, I love that!!

I’m sorry there is a KZbin glitch at the moment where even though I turn on subtitles it’s taking nearly a week to export them. So they will be on eventually. But KZbin are taking longer to load them at the moment? Xx

🐈 🐱 🙌 it’s getting a small fraction better each day 🤒 🙄 😊
