 I used to, at the end of each year, do this annual clean where I dumped anything I didn't need into bags and donated them to the local charity. I haven't done one of those in a long time, and sitting in my room the other day, I looked at all the clutter and thought, "There's too much." I wanted to free up space physically as well as mentally. More space, more room to breathe, more room to think clearly. I have no problem clearing out clothes and shoes, especially the ones that don't fit me anymore, and random odds and ends. But for the most part, a lot of the things I own have sentimental value and it's not easy for me to let those go. So I end up keeping them because I'm afraid I won't remember once they're gone. I think when they mean "living with less," they mean to rid yourself of the unimportant things, the things that aren't pertinent to you anymore. Maybe one day I won't want or need those sentimental things, and I'll smile sadly thinking, "It was good... it was good." Until then, out with clothes and shoes! I made my first of many donation drops yesterday, and I'm starting to feel lighter already. No TrackBacksTrackBack URL: http://www.toastier.org/cgi-bin/mt/mt-tb.cgi/402 |

Annual culls can be both painful but empowering! Clears the head and renews the soul. I love the pops of blue and red in this photo.
I am in a constant state of getting rid of things, because having a lot of stuff really bothers me these days, especially because I have such a small apartment. When it comes to the sentimental stuff, I usually keep it, but I go through it all very often and sometimes I find that even after holding on to something for years, I'm finally ready to give it up.
Mm. I love how this post states exactly my sentiments on decluttering and the like.
