The minimalist art of owning as few things as possible - discarding all useless objects, while keeping essentials (like clothes, computers, etc).

Lessism usually only counts on personal things that belong only to the owner. It means that it usually doesn’t include household furniture, dishes, cleaning supplies, or other shared items.

Often times lessism is considered as a badge of honor in minimalist circles, as in lessism is a competition scored like golf, where the fewest pieces wins.
Minimalist #1: "Dude, I found out about this thing called lessism, and I got so interested that I got rid of all the junk in my apartment and kept only 100 things."

Minimalist #2: (who already partakes in lessism): "Only 100 things? I have 42!"

Minimalist #1: Whoa... that is so minimal. I think I need to head back to my apartment to get rid of more stuff."

Sia Lessis

The life of the party. Sia's fire red hair is so nice that everytime you look at it you just want to throw yourself into the flames. Sia is a dancer and a Greek cutie. She's got that booty and is so memorable that even a baked kid at panera could recognize her (Chef). Sia is the key to my heart. Kinda ugly though. She really channeled her inner Greek on her graduation day. We love a greek Goddess.
Woah, is that Sia Lessis? Cause that girl's pretty!

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
