It is official. I am deeming 2010 my year of… LESS. Less stuff. Less trauma. Less want. Less erroneously placed ambition…
As many of you know, I am moving once again. This time into an amazing, large, and friendly apartment in an Art Deco building somewhere in the confines of Uptown. Think classy but with a certain degree of good humor about it.
In retrospect, my past moves have always been my periods of introspection and healthy purging (of both material and emotional baggage). Feeling like I need to somehow congratulate myself, just a little, here is a brief list of what I have joyfully removed from my life this year.
- Mamiya 7 Camera (finally passed the 9 months without use mark – meaning it was time to sell)
- Television
- 2/3 of my ENTIRE library (this was a feat, trust me)
- Unnecessary pots and pans
- All of my old and heavily used dish-ware
- The majority of my wardrobe
- My sofa
- Chairs
- Numerous pieces of art, photographs, etc (still have a LONG way to go)
- Gigantic IKEA bookshelf
And the rest… still eludes me.
