Yeah, owning less stuff makes you feel freer too. But minimalism also regards everything else in your life, like relationships, even with family and friends, work, passions, health... you can take on minimalism in anything really. I found out about it when I was feeling really down, maybe depressed, and then reading about it opened my eyes, things started making all sense to me again. I sort of "found myself" in a way. It has been helping a lot figuring out the world and who I am. THe same happens when I read your blog. ;)
