No One Else Has to Understand Your Life

I Don´t Need A Lot To Be Happy

I know the life I live is not for everyone. However, it is the one that I have chosen to live.

I have lived a hundred lives before finally reaching the one that feels right (in this lifetime).

I need very little; I want very little.

Some people cannot understand living a simple life, and some question this lifestyle.

At one point in my life, I had it all, well, what I considered ¨all¨.

I was unhappy and depressed, and I wanted to free myself from the prison that I was living in. Trapped by credit card debt and the expectations of others.

One day, I had enough, sold everything, and bought a one-way ticket.

Now, I search for plantains at the bottom of my property, which I bought in cash with money that I earned from a job that was killing my soul.
