Fresh Start
There are few things in life so scary and so invigorating as a fresh start. ‘Wiping the slate clean’ and starting over.
This is not so much a fresh start, however, as an evolution. Turtles-Paradise has been with me for longer than I care to remember. It has served me well – holding up the Final Fantasy 7 obsessed rantings of my teenage years, the pseudo-intellectual ramblings of my early twenties, and now to be the repository of my ravings about my new obsessions.
Those obsessions being somewhat related; minimalism, frugality, downsizing (or downshifting), tiny living, permaculture, sustainability. A zen like approach to happiness and fulfillment. Finding value in doing everything mindfully and happily.
I will begin this story in the middle. Twenty five years old, married, working in web-design and for the council (the waste industry, if you are wondering), breaking just about even on the income/expenditure line, £100 in savings, with a penchant for good books, long holidays, container gardening and real food.
