    I always feel self-conscious about drinking instant coffee whenever I watch minimalist youtuber's videos. But I was so happy to find that, here in Japan, they sell the same brand of instant coffee that my mom and grandmother would drink. It gives me good feelings of home and tastes just as good (sometimes better) than fancy brewed coffees.

    Thnx for the awesome video. I didn't realize I was living like a minimalist til recently. A breakup earlier in 2020 has left me with a minimum of physical things in my house. Moved to a new apartment last may and tbh it was the easiest and quickest move ever. Keeping things simple inside as well as outside of the house agrees with me very much. Regular routine incl gym and a trip to the supermarket are the most exciting events of the day, love spending my time at home listening to music or watching my series. Thnx for showing me I'm not the only 1 living this kind of way, keep up the good work with the videos.

    There's a counter-culture in the U.S. which has always considered the "Japanese aesthetic" as minimalist, an appreciation for the beauty of a Japanese garden, a single object of everyday life designed well and amazing in it's simplicity, the ability to be quiet at ease, the tea ceremony or the use of natural materials in the home, so many examples. All admired but little followed values but there you are, just doing it.

I love writing about my travel adventures, solo backpacking life, being a nomad, or anything really that makes me happy or worth sharing on my blog website. Above all, I thought myself how to be grateful for having a roof over my head, the internet, food to eat, etc. And thank you for reminding me that today.

    You have such a nice pot, you should try making coffee in it from coarsely ground coffee. Just bring the water to the point where it steams and first bubbles form. Add the coffee and let it sit for a few minutes, almost bringing it to a boil. Then take it off the heat and let it set for ten minutes. It's fantastic, often even if you mess up a little. Even if it boils over accidentally, it often ends up nice. I think they call it turkish coffee?

    Hi Sena, I am so glad I clicked into your videos. They are truly amazing showcase of your perspectives which I believed are also held by a minority group of people out there, but for various reasons have not been able to come to fruition completely in their lives yet.
    However, I would like to mention that you are more than amazing because I just realised you are only 24 years of age. I am really baffled at how you attained so much maturity and wisdom at this age, and that really made you to be so enigmatically attractive a person. I like your convictions such as living a solitary or sedentary life without any guilt and unabashedly even if it is classified by society as either lazy or unsuccessful, and that the traditional yardstick of success does not truly define a person as it is also a convergence of other factors; which are so inspiring and reassuring... not to mention that deep voice of yours.
    To be honest, I had only stereotyped minimalist to become someone who have lived through a big part of their lives and decided to change course to focus on what brings them joy. Though you do not fit into that, you certainly do not come across as someone with platitudes. Rather, I find you to be really authentic and unique, and wished you were a part of my early life so that I could have shortened the long runway to reach the calm state of mind.

    I always wake up early and ending up doing nothing like sitting in the coach watching YT or browsing social media. That’s how I found your channel. lol

    You don't need a fancy coffee machine, these pods might not be best for the environment. Sena for Christmas I'm going to get you a stove top coffee pot, all you need is ground coffee, then the old grounds can be used on plants. Side note: I'm super impressed with the home haircut.

    staying at home is great too. I'm terrible when it comes to being a minimalist. I know I can apply it in many aspects of my day to day life and save so much more. I wonder where I should start though.

    I looooved this. You're an authentic person who doesn't sugarcoat your message of minimalism with pretense. Although I'm an aspiring minimalist (so dang far to go), I know my coffee routine takes 7 or 8 steps more than yours😂. BUT there's instant coffee waiting to be used in my cupboard...perhaps tomorrow morning! Thank you and aloha from Hawaii.

    My first viewing. Very nice work! Maybe you’ve already covered this in other videos, but you are in very good physical shape, with excellent muscle tone, for someone who sits indoors all day. And your calorie intake doesn’t seem to be high enough to maintain your bulkier physique. Perhaps it’s o.k. for a delicate lotus flower, but not for you. 🤔

    As an Aussie, I can see the NZ influences in your personality. Keep on doing what you're doing. Minimalism with a big dose of realism. I smile when I watch your videos. Instant coffee, white bread; choice!

    Looks like you played rugby in NZ. True? And you know that you have a NZ accent, right? I wonder if it transfers into Japanese.

    Don't leave your capo on your guitar all the time, you might pit your frets. This video really calmed me down today and made me feel a bit better about wanting to spend days at home on my own, some days i just don't want that over stimulation from the outside world. Oh and great job on your haircut, no way mine would look that good if I tried 😂

    I really love the way your flat is decorated, almost nothing except a table and a one seater "sofa" . How much do I wish to achieve your advanced level of minimalist !!! I have been trying to declutter stuff of my own on and off, books in particular (and DVDs occasionally).

    I use instant coffee if I want iced coffee, otherwise I use coffee pods or the instant style pour-overs. Love your videos, I've began adopting some of your approaches to simplicity. :)

  • @juliaorpheus

    I too appreciate doing simple things and all around me there is so much pressure to validate your life with exciting trips and an enviable social life. I loved how you said "I saw too many people this week, I'm going to stay home alone" SAME - I'm tired of being judged for my simple lifestyle and your videos are a good reminder that it's perfectly valid to live an intentional "boring" life without fancy things or fancy plans with fancy people. :-)

    I totally agree with your thoughts of a boring life, Although I would not call it boring. Because that is simply who I am. Simple, less stress,
    and Less Stuff is so much more relaxing than wanting more, more, and more. For what more responsibility, responsibility to take care of all that stuff. I call it baggage. I love gardening , and being able to grow a few vegetables, and sitting outdoors and enjoying being outdoors.
    And enjoying having my own space. And very gratefull . And also not worrying on making payments on credit cards, and paying interest
    fees. right now I am getting rid of a lot of things I do not use. and clearing out storage. and shed. I have notice I can think a lot better and clearer. Much easier life and better for your health in the long run.
