Wow.
Last weekend I got rid of nearly 400 pounds of STUFF that had accumulated in our home; tons of outgrown children’s clothes and gear were sold to a local consignment shop, and a great deal of nice adult clothes, shoes, and housewares were given to Goodwill. I also have about 100 lbs of misc. items awaiting pick up after having listed them on the local Freecycle board.
It’s an awful feeling, when you realize that your stuff owns YOU, instead of the other way around. Then again, do we really own anything? Is anything truly ours and ours alone…?
