The document outlines someone's dream of living a minimalist lifestyle after being inspired by Zen teachings and a blog about minimalism. They began their journey inward through a book on living in the present moment and cleaned up their room. Their biggest barriers are themselves and a tendency to value possessions too highly due to their life situation. They hope to keep an open perspective and not be held down by their surroundings. They are seeking help and perspectives from others who share similar thoughts on minimalism to help them grow.
