Stuff

I'm sure there are people who go through life collecting stuff. I don't want to be one of them anymore. I don't intend to follow a set course, nor do I have a goal in mind. I was simply thinking as I cleaned my apartment tonight that it would be so much easier to clean if I simply had less stuff.

I spent years collecting stuff, little bits to go with other bits that all went together to form a huge pile. Yet I always struggled to pull together the funds to buy more stuff. I'm simply looking to see if I can stop. Is it possible to just walk away. Is it possible to just stop buying things? I guess we will find out.

Our tendency to collect things ends up being an anchor around our necks... our things require storage, maintenance and cleaning... and become drains on our time and money...

The fewer things we have hanging around us, dragging on us, allows us to be more responsive to changes in our situations... we have more flexibility... more of everything that actually counts, that's actually important...
