OK so I'm moving house again soon and I've started packing. this time I've made the conscious choice and decision to try and declutter before I move. Right now I've got a boot full of shoes and clothes to go to the charity shop, I've got a bag of dvd's to go as well and I'm building up piles of books to go to. So why am I typing? Well I've just emptied one bookcase and it's terrible. I feel like a failure for moving so soon even though it's the right thing to do for me today, right now, this minute. it's the best thing I can do for myself right now and the things I've giving away are things that I don't get any enjoyment out of anymore. So why is it so important for me to have all these things around me?
I think it's a security thing, that I have some permanence in my life in my things, even if it's only my clutter. So I want to get another two bookcases done tonight and then I want to rearrange the front room so I can actually get though there and sort things out as I need to. I'm also going to break down the crappy bookcases I don't want to take with me so I have some space to sort things in the living room too.......
Why is it so hard to do these things?
