"You don't need more space. You need less stuff."
-Anonymous
As a simple person, I don't wish to have a lot in life, nor desire to have more fancy stuff. I only want to have a simple and minimalistic life. One of my simple dreams is to have my own tiny house and live simply and peacefully. A house that I can call home and where I can be free on my own.
When I saw this tiny house with a beautiful garden at Hong Kong's Flower Show 2023, I soon loved its minimal and simple style. That is exactly what I want for myself, maybe just add a few more necessary stuff. And of course, I'll add a small lavatory as well since it doesn't have one.
Among all gardens in the show, I developed a likeness to it. It was my favorite tiny house and garden. I wasn't sure of its style, probably a Boho style. What do you think? I presumed it was because of those cute laces on the sides and its triangle tiny frame.
Its garden, which included a variety of lovely flowers, was my favorite feature. Several birds appeared to enjoy the area. I enjoyed it as well. A platform was extended outward, resembling a home's veranda. To make sitting there more comfortable, a table with a cushion was placed in the middle.
I can imagine the place at night with lighting candles or Christmas lights on the house, garden grounds, and bushes. It probably looks romantic, yet enchanting.
A traditional water well that was nearby made me think of ours from when we used to live in a remote area in our village. I was too young at the time and our life was just too simple. We lived in a small nipa hut that was surrounded by flowers and trees. There was a river nearby where my father frequently caught some fish.
Since the middle of March, I've been quite busy, and there have been times when I wished I could just go back to when we were living in our little nipa hut. I wished I could go back to when I was young. We only own a small number of things, all of which are necessities. Despite not having much, we were content and happy.
You probably have noticed my lack of interaction. In addition to the fact that we moved to a new place and I am busy with my real-world work, I also felt like I needed to take a break from these online side jobs. Maintaining a balance between the offline and online worlds is sometimes tiring. At the same time, I have certain unanswerable questions in my head. They are so overwhelming and disturbing. It gets more tiresome the longer I hold them. I probably just need more rest and time to clear my head with these bothersome thoughts.
