have nothing in my possession that I do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful

My BF came over and we rearranged my room as per Fung Shi (or however its spellt). Not sure if the energy flows better, but the place looks nicer, and I have a clue of things to get rid of. Also, I’ve been going though my clothes to weed out the ones I don’t wear and such. The peeps at the Free Market see me coming now and salivate…lol

I just feel into a bunch of new sweaters and such, I’m rather pleased, they are all in nearly new shape, and I really like the colors. I am going to toss most of my current winter wardrobe. It’s really nice.

Garage Sale….

oh how they get in the way. I did get rid of a bunch of crap that I couldn’t remember why I had it.

In the headline people. I instinctively clutter & collect to the point where there’s hardly space for me in my own room. I need help.

Stuff. Everywhere.
Stuff!
Things I kept to remember..a pile of my life..people I used to know, people I used to want to be. Stuff from someone I’m not anymore.

It’s so hard to get rid of all this stuff.

First I think I’m going to try and get rid of the stuff from people who I didn’t think to remember, or consider that I once knew, or even remembered having known until I found a pile of stuff that reminded me of them. Unless they sent me something glowingly flattering that will remind me that somewhere, someone, once thought I was cool.

Since I don’t own the house – I live with my mother – it’d probably be rude to start chucking her things in the bin because I find them hideous. But I can do this in my room, with my own things. I think it will be liberated. I will encourage myself to be honest about what I find beautiful and useful. There are quite a few things I’ve hung on to simply because they were given to me, or they were around, or inexpensive. I’m also working on getting rid of books which I don’t love and will never want to read again through BookMooch. it’s great being able to get books I want to read, then either keep them, or pass them along when I’m done.
