A thing free life

I'd like to embark on a less cluttered life. One were I have less stuff. A lot of the stuff I have I probably don't need and likely won't use ever again. I hold on to it... just in case. The few times I've gotten rid of things and then needed them later makes it harder. They negate the times that I've gotten rid of things and then not needed them. (Not sure but it's probably less of the former and more of the latter too.)

One reason I'd like to do this is because I found out yesterday I'll have to move soon. Having to move less stuff would be good. It would be very good. I'm not sure how I'm going to single-handedly move what I have. Some of it I can carry if I rent a truck. Others not so much - like the couch. There are things I know I couldn't part with. (Like a certain book collection.) I'm sure though that clothes I've not worn since I moved here can go... as well as other books. Not to mention kitchen stuff I likely won't use or old hair stuff. Not to mention an assortment of papers, knick knacks and socks. (I have a lot of socks.)

I suppose I could apply this to my internal baggage too right? Should I still be feeling guilt for a snarky comment made to a girl when I was 14? (Even though it was motivated by what my young brain thought was a good idea it was still not nice.) Is it really necessary to still feel like I need to apologize for that over 15 years later? Especially since I did apologize years ago. No, not really. I need to let it go. It's interesting too how some internal clutter can be connected to the exterior clutter you keep around.

If only internal clutter were as easy to pack up and be rid of as exterior.
