I'm doing 20 things
I remember reading somewhere that the trash we throw away are a mirror of who we are today. When we buy something, it is in hope of becoming it. ‘It’ refers to the lifestyle we’re buying into whenever we buy an item. We do not just immediately become ‘it’ upon purchase.
Like a snake, we have to shed our old skin to allow for the new to grow.
It hit me how we will never completely be what we want to be until we decide to give the old stuff up. Maybe it’s a natural physical resistance to change at subconscious level, as these unwanted things we see daily constantly remind us how we used to live.
I will be moving home from my grandmother’s place to my own home in about two months, and I have made a promise to myself to only bring along the essentials, and a few sentimentals I truly want to hold on to.
There is a feeling of lightness that comes with a clutter free life. And in two months, I want to breathe easy and truly live, wild and free.
