00:00

Joy changes the bones of your face man.

00:03

Joy is a giggle...

00:07

a giggle and definitely a little bit silly too.

00:11

Yeah, joy is an energy.

00:15

Joy is our gift.

00:35

In the beginning of my current lifestyle

00:38

my family were really concerned about me.

00:42

They said I’m living in a dream world.

00:48

I don’t have dependants. I don’t have children.

00:51

If I had, I wouldn’t even have thought of doing this.

00:56

It would be extremely irresponsible.

01:05

I love people, and I love people that love me too.

01:09

And I don’t want them to worry about me.

01:10

So I could never have done this

01:13

living with somebody that I cared about.

01:22

So it’s been a bit of a struggle

01:24

in the beginning of my journey as a minimalist

01:28

to put everyone that loves me at peace with what I’m doing.

01:41

Theo is a traveller.

01:45

He owns nothing but the few possessions

01:49

which fit into a bag on his back.

02:01

Many people find my lifestyle as a form of criticism.

02:11

I am. I’m critical.

02:12

But I’m not critical personally.

02:16

I’m critical to the system.

02:27

I don’t find guilt with somebody who’s doing

02:30

exactly what they believe in.

02:32

They know they’re doing the right thing

02:33

according to everything they know.

02:36

I respect that.

02:38

That’s beautiful.

02:44

I don’t support commerce.

02:48

As little as possible.

02:51

And that makes me a little bit of a freak.

02:54

I know the other side of it very well.

02:57

I also stood on people for my own comfort.
