I didn't realize just how much until this weekend. We made I don't know how many trips from the old to the new place. How did we become such consumers? I remember buying stuff my junior year of high school thinking, I'll use this when I get to college. Then it gets packed away and this is the first time I've seen some things since we moved to Columbia! I definitely want to go through more of our stuff this year and give it away.
I think that I want to give away at least four things a month - four bigger things. And maybe some small things (I don't know if I can put a number on that). Maybe I should say that by the time May 2009 is here, I want to have everything fit in our vehicle (besides big things like our couches and bed and stuff like that.) Wouldn't that be awesome! How easy of a move would that be?!
But then, a part of me is like, what about all my paintings? And things that I've invested time in someone to make. Or some of my decorations. And books. And dishes and kitchen stuff - I have so many kitchen items. But I don't want to get rid of those things. I would use those things!
Ahhh... the internal struggle begins. I don't know if you can relate to this - but man, it's hard to find a balance of keeping things I need and holding on to things I want.
