Simple life

The bigger cultural difference between the US and the DR to me is that Dominicans live so simply. They don't need all the extras that we have in the states. I love it.

It's such a good, freeing feeling to have less possessions. You feel less tied down and free to move about. I think a lot of people have so many things because they are unsure about who they are so they have an excessive amount of stuff that they use to define themselves. Sure some things are meaningful because of who or what are tied to them. The excess is what makes belongings no longer meaningful.

Clutter is restrictive. Have less, live more. Focus on love, relationships, and just being rather than on worldly excess.
