    I’m too old to be getting down on the fucking ground like that. Needs a frame of cinder blocks and plywood.

      You should do that anyways. Bed frames exost for a reason: it helps to stop moisture building up on the underside of the mattress, and thus prevents mold.

    The minimal furniture and a sense of free space are great for my mental health. A cluttered home to me feels like a cluttered mind. I don’t want to live in a cage of excess stuff, much like I don’t want to carry unhealthy mental baggage with me, pulling me down. You may see a sparse room, but I see freedom from sensory fatigue. I see freedom.

    I lived like this the first year of my postdoc and couldn’t have been happier. I had 4 place settings but only used one and washed it after every meal. Desk, computer, one camp chair, and an inflatable mattress. Stayed that way until my wife joined me my second year and made me get a real apartment.

    It’s a bit much for me, as I’d want the mattress more elevated, but let me tell you, I am 99% sure I have adhd, and minimalism like this appeals to me so it’s less shit I have take care of, every item in your house is a fucking dust collector that you have to wipe down, fuck that shit, I only want the absolute essentials, rest is slowly going to the bin

      Ain’t no home without enough open space for all kinds of push ups! If you’re daring, you could even do other exercises too!
