this has nothing to do with my last post, but i was happy to see all the positive comments from you guys. you’re the best. for real (a la antoine dodson).
i am preparing to move…and had like two-weeks notice (no pun intended) to get my stuff together. last weekend was my birthday weekend, so there wasn’t much in the way of packing going on, but there was a lot of purging. and organizing. moving is prime time for this sort of thing.
as much as i hate the actual process, i am finding this to be so good for my soul. i feel surrounded — nearly suffocated — by clutter at times. i hold on to stuff (almost hoarder-style) for fear that i may use/need/wear it again. and i don’t. it’s a sick, twisted game i play with myself.
but seriously, i don’t know why i’m bothering to blog about this other than to say: DO IT. don’t hang on to it. throw it out, give it away, sell it.
there are places and people that could do more with the stuff you’re doing nothing with (don’t mind that sentence structure, please). not only will it free up space in your home, it will free up space in your mind. for some reason, everything just seems so much more okay when everything has its own purpose/place.
in year 29, i’m focusing on living simply: physically, mentally, emotionally and otherwise.
this is step one. stay tuned for the rest.
