An excerpt from Micheiili’s personal synthesis essay:

I do not consider myself a minimalist and I don’t think I will ever truly be one. I like things. I like keeping mementos of various times in my life. Like a seashell that my father gave me when I was 9, or a piece of paper that has a little quote that someone wrote me once. I enjoy having little pieces of my life just laying around. Old photographs, a gift from my beloved mum or my dad’s old sweater from 25 years ago, a necklace that I stole from my teenage sister, or a toy that my 4 year old sister gave me to remember her bye when I left home and moved to New York. My whole life is just a bunch of different pieces and I love that. As I go I shall try to be more of a minimalist, because I truly believe in its power, but hey no promises.
