Starting From Scratch

Sometimes, I think it would be the best thing for me to just give away everything I owned, except for my bed, a few sets of clothing, and some dishes.

I could start from scratch, uncluttered and unencumbered by stuff.

Occasionally, I wish that my apartment would just burn to the ground. Not because I actually want that to happen. But because it would give me a clean slate.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

    yes, you are the only one.

    Naw, I’m kidding.

    Whenever I feel like I would rather pack a duffel and run away from my house I take it as a cue to start throwing things down the garbage chute until I feel better.

    Yeah, I’m trying to reduce. A lot. I just feel like going to extremes and doing all or none. Of course, in reality, that’s not going to work. But, I hope to purge a LOT of stuff in the near future. We’ll see how well I fair.

    If you do this, you must create an alternate persona for yourself and start illegal boxing organizations in the basements of grungy bars.

    I get this, totally. I often have the same feeling…like there’s just too much “stuff” to deal with. It’s a tempting solution…

    I may or may not have already started an illegal boxing organization or ten. “Fight clubs,” you might call them. However, if I did, I would probably not be allowed to talk about it.
