from talking over the talking and the loud music the other night (and all the cigarette smoke). I don’t want such stupid things to affect my singing however dispensable it may be ; I like to sing, it’s one of those few things that me peaceful. Considering noise is destroying my hearing anyway, it’s just one more reason to stay away from it (my tinnitus right now has out-of-this-world proportions, makes me very disconnected with my own ability to think and experience life normally). I want to live as ascetically as possible for a hundred years at least. Because why not ? I’d like not to be a wreck at age 30 (for I already am one in several ways). I believe in the necessity of this goal more than ever. 1 week ago
Well I am moving to another neighborhood – a more expensive one! I have been thinking about moving there for awhile but didn’t think I could afford it. So I am giving up my current spacious 1 bedroom for a tiny studio. I had to figure out what was more important to me and a large apartment certainly wasn’t it! I am currently reducing my possessions by half and I am being ruthless with getting rid of things… if I haven’t used it or even thought about it in over a year, out it goes. The hardest part I think is getting rid of things I spent so much money on….like furniture. I won’t be getting my money back and that really hurts. Ah well. 4 weeks ago
I just read somewhere (can’t remember where now, have to find that article) that one’s goal shouldn’t be to become a minimalist – rather, one should become a minimalist because it will help them achieve the goals in life they desire….damn it sounded better in the article. Will revise this later! 4 months ago
I have been doing some more downgrading lately. Yesterday I cancelled my cable tv package. I signed up for an online tv and movie site, as well as with an ebook company. I can’t wait until I can afford a nice laptop, some good back up and maybe a tablet. Then I can be rid of my big TV(unless my boyfriend wins that fight lol) my Desktop and outdated and large monitor, a whole desk, tv stand and 2 chairs.
I did pack away about 10 boxes of books and photo CD’s. It would be kind of handy to scan everything or copy it onto an external flashdrive or some USB’s which take up much less space, and are much lighter to move around, but I am a little worried about their reliability, and also not sure where to store the originals safely.
Thinking of reducing mail clutter this week, making sure I’m swithced to emailed or electronic bills and off of paper. Also, I must confess I rarely recycle at home and I must start soon reducing the amount of household garbage I produce. This part I will like I’m sure; It’s just to get into the habit.

Well I have finished my schooling and am now focussing once again on doing even more decluttering, and organizing..and downsizing.. the tools of my trade have caused a new organizational challenge, but I handled that like a champ and will continue to get rid of things I do not need over the next few weeks..I think I will take it one step further this time; and pack away the things I want to keep but don’t necessarily need left out for use any time soon.

Recently I found myself spending more and more time in my brother’s bedroom instead in my own – even sleeping there when he is away. It just has a better vibe. At first I thought his room was terribly ugly with mismatched furniture. Then I realized he has only what he needs- a desk, chair, bed, closet,computer, and only books he needs for school. And mine, much prettier bedroom (or I thought so before), nicely furnished and all that is full of stuff (or crap). I cannot stand to be in there for more than 10 minutes any more.
