yes. tiny houses....
most tiny houses are generally 300-500 square feet. eeeyup. you read that right. hence the words "tiny house". the overall idea is that the carbon footprint of each person or family be reduced by living with what they only need. i can also think of many other ideas... ability to own your home outright, live outside more, save money to travel often and... they're so cute! most have loft bedrooms to make the most of the space.
i've been completely drawn in. completely! mostly by the idea to live off of only what is necessary and to find love in life by the things or people that are in our life already. it's the oldest idea ever, but i'm so fascinated by it. our society is extremely opposite. i hate being negative about things... especially on the internet. 1) because once it's out there, it's out there forever 2) people have used the net as an inappropriate platform. me included. and i try not to... i try. 3) sometimes being negative just sounds like fear. puh. but i really do feel as though society pushes for us to always have more. and i do not despise anyone that has the means to live in something grand. it's that we live beyond our means. it's that we lay so much importance on the things we have.
tiny houses is like this foreign and new idea. live life out of debt? enjoy what you have already instead of stewing about what you don't have? crazy. i didn't move into my house 2 years ago and i've found myself constantly thinking, "if we only had a garage..." "if we only had an extra room above the garage... a deck... then we can sell and get a bigger house..." God, forgive me. living in a 300-500 square foot house is not where the Lord has us right now. but just reading the concept of these houses and really the concept of how we look at the quality of life is astounding!!!
