if you're in your 20s or even your 30s, one of the dumbest mistakes you can make is to assume that "simple" is the same as "stupid" or "lesser" or "uninteresting", and that "complex" is the same as "refined" or "worthwhile" or "interesting". you will be happier if you learn to appreciate simple things. humans have always had simple things and they were not lesser for it. you will be happier if you focus on having simple things be the core, the foundation, the nexus of your life. you don't have to rid yourself of all complexity but life will be better if you simplify just as much as you can
