KiSS-Blog-Idea #99 || Loving A Maximalist

Minimalism isn't an innate behavior, some of us became minimalist due to some factors around us, most especially our upbringing. Not everyone has parents or guardians who taught them that a minimalist lifestyle is the best, some adopted it while growing up most of which is due to some people in their lives.

While love is magical and so beautiful, you can't help who you fall in love with and of course, you might not know you are falling for a maximalist until the thought of them fills you up that you can do nothing to stop the feelings from growing, but it's fine, no harm done here 😄😄😄.

So If I find myself in love with a guy who is a maximalist, I won't give up on him if I really love him, rather I will look for ways to teach him and let him know the benefits of being a minimalist.

To start with, he needs to know a minimalist isn't someone poor, lives in poverty, or worse someone who is stingy but rather a minimalist is someone good with the management of things, someone who takes things in their wild and excessive form into a much simpler and easy form.

Some men often likes to show off a lot by buying somethings in abundance especially when they can afford it. So,I will help him channel those resources into the right place. You own 50 pairs of shoes? Why don't you give some out to people who don't have any, so they may also feel good and trust me, you will be so happy doing so. Besides how else will you be able to declutter and give your home the breathable atmosphere it needs?

Being in love means we get to share things together and also make plans, so this means I can bring suggestions that will help bring him closer to becoming a minimalist. This doesn't mean I will discard all his suggestions because I know it won't be easy for him as well but when he sees the benefits of living a simple life, he will be happy to have embraced it.

Now I am not saying it will be a done deal from the start because it will take a lot of time to mold a maximalist into a minimalist without them reverting to their old ways. So I am going to take it one step at a time and I believe he will come around in the end.

Are you kind-hearted? Or do you think you are better than everyone? If the latter is the case, then that's a deal breaker for me. But, that's a very big but, if he is open to changes, then maybe there is something that can still be done.

Only a kind person would want to share with others and spread love wherever they go. So if I could find a good way for him to change all that maximalist side of him and also help him learn to give more to people and also help him stay organized then I think I might just be on the right track in making him a minimalist.

Thank you all for reading.
