Just spilled a coffee on my shirt, and it made me realize that maybe I'm done with minimalism

I have been a very consistent and active member of this subreddit. I go to work everyday with less than 300$ on me, and a LifeProof iPhone case with some cards and cash in it. No wallet, no bag, just what I have with me at all times. I did this for years and for multiple reasons : <br><br>- Convenience<br>- Safety<br>- Environmental awareness<br>- My profound hatred for consumerism<br><br>Questionning my beliefs about consumerism didn't really change anything, I still don't want to buy jackets for 300$ or have a closet full of useless stuff, but it just made me question everything else.<br><br>Today, I woke up, and did my usual routine. Drank my coffee while watching something, and then spilled it on a white shirt I just bought a week ago. <br><br>I hate spilling coffee on my shirts, but I really hate it even more when it happens to a new one. This shirt was 15$, which is not a lot of money, but I still want to preserve it, and I feel sad about the stain, even though it's easy to clean. I'm not into white shirts but this one was for a white party and so I had to buy one. The thing is that I really like the shirt, I like the look, the feel, I'm not going to part ways with this shirt anytime soon.<br><br>It was cheap, it was for a special occasion, but it made me realize that I don't want to get rid of things anymore. I want to find people to share the things with, and to be able to keep the things I love.<br><br>I stopped liking minimalism, and went back to buying things that I think are reasonable and that are going to last. I tend to think that I've shaped a life that doesn't require me to be so extreme on minimalism but I have to admit that I'm not buying things for the greater good. I buy things for myself. I'm going to buy a shirt that I love that is going to last me for a long while, and it's more expensive than a cheaper version, but I don't care, I don't want to spend my life making extreme choices just to be more eco friendly and to be able to say that I'm a minimalist. I buy things that make me happy.<br><br>And when I look at myself in the mirror, I feel happy, I don't feel like I've lost anything, I don't feel like I have to be part of something in order to be true to myself, I don't have a philosophy on consumerism anymore, because I think that there are more important things to worry about.<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>EDIT: Wow this blew up, thanks for all the comments, I'm really trying to read every single one of them, and this has been an incredibly awesome experience, thank you all for your input and your kindness, positive vibe is the best, and it's really inspiring to see that people are taking an interest in things that aren't strictly related to minimalism. I'm just happy to see that the conversation is still going and that people keep on engaging. Keep on posting and sharing your thoughts, it's awesome.
