get rid of everything I don't need

I’ve made a bit of progress. My boyfriend and I reduced our possessions to the size of the back of a Mazda Protege. I got rid of all of my clothes save for one storage bin full (well and a bit of my boyfriend’s bin as well). Shoe-wise, I’m down to one pair of flip flops, one pair of sneakers, and one pair of rope sandals. We kept all our camping gear, blankets, and two pillows. I have three hula hoops, my computer, and all my art and sewing supplies.

I haven’t missed anything yet.

I’ve gone from a Hyundai Tiburon full of stuff, to a one bedroom apartment full of stuff, to a two bedroom apartment full of stuff, to one big bedroom worth of stuff, to one tiny bedroom worth of stuff.

I hope to get back down to a carload worth of stuff, at which point I’ll hit the road.
