It can seem like a trendy, transient, millennial topic that doesn't have much significance and might not be around all that long. However, while there may be some people who have jumped on the minimalist bandwagon purely because it's popular, many of us truly value minimalism and hope to continue to live minimalistic lives even if it goes out of style.

Insomnia: What Brought Me Here?
It all started when I was very young; going to preschool is when I first remember it happening. The night terrors, the old hag*, being completely frightened and trying to scream, but I was paralyzed. Night after night, this is what my life was. I would finally gain control, scream for my mom or run into her room and go to sleep with her. Dream catchers, counting sheep, bibles under my pillow, NOTHING, and I mean nothing, worked. It wasn’t until I was about 12 when I started developing stranger sleeping patterns.

Ten Days to Suffer
According to Buddha, "Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional." It is possible to experience pain without having to suffer from it, but in order for that to happen, one has to let nature to take its course. One has to have the strength to let go of the things that worry them, and just be still for a moment to allow things to fall in place. In my case, I wasn't strong enough, but I did learn from those experiences, and took that lesson to heart. It was in early January of 2016 that I suffered from Mononucleosis, during that time, I also pretended that I was okay just so that I would be released early from the hospital, even when I felt terribly sick, but in the end, I had learned to accept things for the way they were.
