My Entry for the KISS BLOG IDEAS: WEEK #170 (July 19 - 25)
So, The Kiss Blog has 3 prompt options, but I will be going with option 1:
How does Minimalism influence my emotional expression?
A good question — and one I’m genuinely excited to answer.
Now, I’m not a minimalist by nature. I don’t live with only 30 items, and I’m not the kind of person who finds joy in empty shelves.
But sometimes, I just get irritated at the sight of too many things clogged up around me.
Books piled here, random objects stacked there… it builds tension I didn’t even realize I was carrying. And the moment I find time for myself, I start clearing it all out.
Sometimes, I end up finding out that I had some things that I did not need.
Funny enough, minimalism doesn’t just affect my space — it touches how I express myself, emotionally and creatively.
Walking into a minimalist space gives me a certain degree of calm.
There’s this comfort, security that it comes with. Even a cozy kind of stillness that tells my heart: “It’s safe to breathe here.”
The same feeling washes over me when I finish designing a clean, simple logo or flyer — nothing flashy, just elegant and direct.
After the adrenaline of creating dies down, I sit back, stare at the work, and nod to myself, “Good work.”
Emotionally, minimalism strips away the noise.
It forces me to deal with what’s real. With fewer distractions, I’m left with just my feelings — no shopping spree to hide behind, no clutter to blame.
I’m learning to say things as they are: I’m tired. I’m excited. I’m scared. I’m happy.
No need to over-explain or dramatize.
It hasn’t made me less emotional. It just made me more honest. More in tune.
I cry when I need to. I pause when I’m overwhelmed. I let joy wash over me without trying to capture it for the world to see.
Even when I’m designing or writing, I find myself cutting away the extra, so the core message can shine through. The emotions I used to dress up in layers are now allowed to stand on their own. And somehow, they speak louder that way.
Minimalism taught me that emotions don’t need a lot of space. They just need the right space.
Thank you for reading my post 🙏
