"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
...and it's something i had been thinking about even before i found this quote. In packing things I've come to realize that I horde entirely too much stuff. Some of the stuff has a purpose, some has sentimental value, but most of it is just useless junk that I hesitate to get rid of. So i'm trying to enter a more simplified lifestyle. A few pieces of furniture, a fully stocked kitchen, books and music, bikes and snowboards, clothing, and a few pieces of decor such as candles, vases, and picture frames. It sounds so simple, so how did I ever manage to accumulate such a rediculously large amount of stuff?? It's so silly. Most of the time all that stuff just becomes annoying as I constantly try to organize and re-organize it, and never really end up using it. Sweaters I haven't worn in years, doubles of photos stacked on shelves, spare buttons (why i keep all those extra buttons I don't know, cuz even when i do lose a button it seems I can never find the right one in my pile 'o buttons), not to mention what may be hiding/growing under my bed. So bizarre. So as I clean out my years of junk, I am also attempting to curb my junk-hording habit. I hope i'm successful.
