I’ve found joy in living lightly and intentionally. Being vegan is the most meaningful choice I make—it cares for animals, people, and the planet. Additionally, I surround myself only with what I truly need; almost everything I own is secondhand, and when I do buy new, I choose the least harmful option I can afford. Part of this practice is keeping social media off my phone, limiting it to laptop use; creating distance from ads and messages that I need to buy and consume. Life feels fuller when I focus on connection and simplicity.
