RE: SO WHAT'S WITH ALL OUR STUFF ANYWAYS
Very good article and accurate . I find it's what we are surrounded with and that becomes our focus. If you watch TV, travel, go on social media, pretty much anywhere in modern society we are sold "stuff". We see it everywhere thus it sticks in our heads. Plus it's that feeling you have when you don't have something and you are told you need it. It's very sad and as you say a depressing cycle. For myself I found this out when I used to work in Investment Banking Headhunting, no matter what people got paid 100k, 300k 1mil they still wanted or thought they needed more. It's a trap and people waste their lives stuck in it. For me I saw this and became bored of this life hence way I sold my and gave to charity all my stuff years ago and moved out of that environment. Now I'm trying to find the balance between experiencing all that is life and enjoying new tech and things I like.
I here you. I years ago worked in an Investment Department for a large insurance company, in a large city. Three years ago, we bailed the big city of 6 million and moved 1800kms away to a small coastal village of 500. Exploring life and all it has to offer. Thought we had it made in the shade and the perfect balance. Now I have to go back to the back city and put my mother into an assisted living apartment and sell her home and figure out what to do with the contents. 3500sq ft. 3 cars and 10 acres of land. More stuff than I had when I got rid of mine. I am having heart palpitations. Writing this blog was helpful to me, hopefully someone else can think their way through the maze. I figure it will take me a good year. Then I am bailing ship, putting what stuff I have in storage and off we go to somewhere. Not sure where. It is just so very sad in the end. Hey thanks for stopping by again. :))
ahh sorry to hear about your Mum. Yeah loads of stuff to take care of which might feel a bit suffocating especially figuring it all out, but good plan to have a goal at the end of it. Love the idea of just heading off into the sunset somewhere, anywhere :)
on a positive note I am taking my running shoes with me..still going to run everyday inbetween packing it up. lol
I like it, pack a box then run a mile haha
completely my intent
