You know the feeling when you get an idea in your head and suddenly nothing else seems as important, or urgent as seeing that idea come into fruition? Well, this blog is one such idea. I got it into my head years ago that I was going to be a published writer someday...not that this isn't the dream of about 99.9% of bloggers out there in the world. However, for some reason, it just seemed to me that if I couldn't get over my perpetual writer's block, perhaps a story idea would come to me while writing semi-meaningless thoughts for anyone with a computer and 10 minutes to kill could see. So here it goes! Let's start with today shall we?
Today was spent going through every minuscule item that I seemed to have collected within the last 5 years of college not to mention a good portion of my 23 years on this spinning orb. My roommates and I are moving. Because of this fact, I have decided that I will NOT to be that roommate that needs a moving van to haul everything they own like some kind of nomad who carries around their entire existence with them to every residence. So begins the purging!
Note to my readers: When one is moving out and realizing just how much CRAP one has accumulated, it is not...I repeat NOT a good idea to turn on "Hoarding: Buried Alive". If this advice is not heeded, one will notice a shortness in breath, panicked thoughts, and sudden outbursts. Outburst such as "Oh dear God I'm going to be the crazy lady down the street who saved everything from a key that goes to who knows what to a napkin that was used while staying in a hotel in a country I can no longer remember, but for some reason seemed to have some kind of immensely significant value to it at the time. Just something to keep in mind. More to come tomorrow...that is if I haven't thrown out my computer for fear of keeping too much stuff.
You can do it! I've been combating the Hoarder in me myself recently, and keep thinking "what if I need that?"
