Downsizing

Moving out always makes me realize how much I have. I'm the last one left in my room (tear) but there's still so much clutter.

So I've decided to downsize. By half.

It's just stuff after all isn't it? Clothes I never wear, movies I never watch, a guitar I never play, books I've already read. Stuff. Crap, really.

I don't know when people decided we needed more stuff to make us happy. I've been finding that the more I have, the more stressed out I get-more things to lose, more to be responsible for, more to find places for. I just don't need it.

So my goal is to get rid of half of it. Now that I have the room to myself, I think I'm going to take this time to take inventory of what I have and get rid of it. I want to be able to fit everything in the 3 bins I'm allowed to store at Covenant and the 2 suitcases I have. (Obviously things like the guitar, tv dinner table, tv stand, the carpet and my chair won't fit in those bins, but everything else should be able to.)

We'll see how it goes. I know it's going to be a big project and it will probably be difficult, but I think it needs to happen.
