I love this perspective so much.

Anyone who has ever had to pay rent or utilities or feed a child or themselves knows there is a minimum.

We do a disservice when we romanticize small, because small that doesn’t meet the minimum is stressful and not kind to the soul.

But small, when it meets the ‘enough’, yes, that is something worth seeking. Beyond that is, I think, where we find the senseless noise and chaos.
