i've always liked to collect things. i'm the type of person to assign an extremely disproportinate amount of sentimental value onto something admittedly pretty stupid. over the three years ive been in my current apartment, ive amassed an impressive amount of little goobabs and trinkets.
however, its all gotten very overwhelming at this point. especially since ive been having a terrible time mentally, having all this stuff cluttering my sacred space is slowly turning from a comfort to something that is suffocating me entirely. SO! today started my journey of purging all my unnecessary items, and i already feel so much better now that ive committed myself to it. i wanna share this so someone will bare witness to what im doing and ill feel bad if i wuss out, haha.
this is your sign to cherish what you have and cut away anything that does not serve you anymore. 🫶

loooooove getting rid of things i don’t use anymore………was borderline a hoarder for most of my life, but something shifted recently and i just wanna get rid of things…….a little tasteful clutter is nice, i’m by no means a minimalist, but i think i just reached a point where my things were overwhelming me instead of comforting me. doing my best now to crack down and get rid of anything that’s just collecting dust

Being an Asian person, I'm a hoarder. It's hard for me to throw away things because I tend to think about the memories incorporated with those and maybe I can use 'em in the future. I'm a teacher so I have lots and lots of papers in my storage boxes.
But yesterday and today something happened. I finally decided to throw away around 50% of papers that I keep since 2013 (yup since I was in college). It's not perfect but hey a change is a change.
Honestly it made me feel good. I thought that I was able to move forward and let go of burdens that I should not be carrying anymore.
It's fun so I recommend it.

i’m moving out soon and i’ve been in a giant empty house all summer and it has successfully driven me insane multiple times, and i’m still in the process of throwing things out day by day so every day the space i’ve known for three years is only getting emptier
so i started leaving clean laundry in a little pile, unread new yorkers in a different pile, a stuffed animal to be put in vacuum bag but rn just sits on top of an opened and packed suitcase full of stuff, a bag of things to be thrown out right besides my bed, and i‘m proud to say that my room has never looked messier
this is the one time that i’m sure somehow the mess is helping my mental health instead of making it worse

i met this sweet and shy puppy for the second time yesterday. she was abused by a previous owner and in turn has a very reserved personality. she glides around slowly and has these soulful, calm eyes that she rarely lifts from the floor.
out of the blue, she sat beside me and pushed her small head against my palm, wanting to be pet. i damn near CRIED! she's never been this sweet to me. what a wonderful soul.

wanted to make a mace out of one of those spiky seed pods, and put it stretching down the outside of my arm so it would bend and move with my elbow. what do we think chat?
