Save me a little square on the landfill

in #ulog6 years ago (edited)
Some of you know I'm sorting through a lot of my stuff these days, throwing away a bunch of crap that I can't even remember why I decided to keep in the first place if I'm to be honest. I can't help to think at this point that about 95% of the things that are in this home of ours are just fluff.

In other words, they didn't make my life any better, yet I held on to them for years and years waiting for the day they would swoop in and get me out of a pickle. If you are a bit of a techie like me, you know exactly what I'm talking about. "Oh.. wait, this are the little screws for the floppy drive units... lemme save those just in case" - In case of what??? I go back to floppies?

This man cave of mine seems to be full of silly things like this. Just yesterday I found a collection of old guitar strings. I mean, they seem semi-ok, they could be used I guess. But, you know why I kept them? You know why I've been storing them? Well... because if I popped one string and needed just to get one happening to keep on jamming I would not have to open up a brand new package. However, I've never done that..... ever!

There goes another trash bag full of stuff I don't need, and never did. I kind of feel guilty though, all the debris that has my name attached to it, that will probably end up in a landfill somewhere. What's the choice? I have no clue at this point. I just gotta make sure they save me a little spot just for me...

I do like those jewelrieses you speaks ofs... but.. Idk how to make em.

Hopefully this will have somewhat of a cleansing effect as well with a positive impact on your stress/mood. One of my favorite things about moving was always decluttering my life because I felt it improved my mindset.

Hi meno. It is a shitty thing but is needed to move forward. It takes balls to do what you are doing and we are all behind you.

These tombs are not healthy
It affects human health and the environment

Ohh sometimes it hurts to let go! However, ifits the only option, we have to endure.
