Owning 111 Items in life as a hoarder and an artist.
During my traditional Holy Week trip to Bantayan Island, Cebu Philippines, I came across Robin Greenfield’s website while reflecting on life, simplicity, and the crossroads of self-discovery. I was with my cousin Paolo, staying on the rooftop of a friend’s storm-damaged restaurant, living in a tent powered only by solar panels. The atmosphere felt raw and honest — surrounded by sea breeze, quiet nights, and conversations with people about purpose, freedom, and what truly matters in life.
Discovering Robin Greenfield during that time felt strangely aligned with the mindset I was in. His philosophy of minimalism, intentional living, sustainability, and reducing possessions connected deeply with the environment and emotions of that trip. The website explores his journey of simplifying his life down to only a small number of possessions and living in a way that challenges modern consumer culture. (Robin Greenfield)
What stood out to me most was how the website is more than just about owning fewer things — it is about freedom, awareness, connection to nature, and redefining success and happiness outside materialism. Reading through the pages while living simply myself, even temporarily on that rooftop in Bantayan, made the experience feel personal and reflective in a way I still remember strongly today.
