I've tried to start this blog a couple of times now. I really want to be documenting my journey towards a more simple, manageable life. But I can't seem to finish a post. Just thinking about writing makes me sleepy, makes me want to check my Feedly, makes me hungry. All this tells me that writing about this is something I absolutely must do.
Here's my plan:
* Throw stuff away
* Buy less stuff
* Get to know myself
That seems pretty simple. But easy, it is not (Yoda voice). I have cut myself off from many materialist inputs. I don't watch tv, I don't read the paper, I don't go to the mall if I don't have a purpose. I don't even peruse Pinterest all that often. But I still feel the lure of "more."
I have thrown away bag after bag of trash. I have donated even more bags. I have made progress. But I still have rooms and closets filled with things that I don't even care about. Some spaces hold things I do care about, but I forget because they're hidden away, lost among the clutter.
This is my journey. I've been on it for a couple of years already, but the documentation starts today.
