Detachment
I’ve been making it a goal to get rid of at least 5 things a week, either by giving things away or donating them.
So far, so good.
I’m getting down to the part where I’m left with boxes of sentimental items such as written letters, schoolwork, stories, essays, poems, childhood toys, cassette tapes and CDs.
I’ve been trying to find a way to part with the sentimental items — and I think I might actually get around to cleaning it all out. They say that things should be properly displayed or hidden away, and if they have value to you, they shouldn’t be in boxes or sitting inside a closet. So I think I’m just going to have to start digitizing my things (i.e. taking photographs of the items) otherwise it’s going to grow into a heap of things that will take even longer to get rid of.
My goal is to not dread moving — when the time comes.
Nothing left at my parents house.
I want everything to fit in my car.
This will definitely be a slow, but useful process to start simplifying my life further.
Challenge me.
