One of my goals for the past few months has been to be more minimalistic. I am trying to cut down on the amount of STUFF in my life. I am trying to cut things down to what I really love and what I really need. So far I have donated 4 and a half large garbage bags full of stuff from my room and have filled up two more since then to donate. I want my space in my room to be as functional as possible and I have become an organization freak. I want to value what God has given me more.
I don't think that getting rid of stuff is going to make me more spiritual or whatever but I am simply not taking stock in earthly possessions as much...
I also like neat and more open spaces...now I am a long way from being where I want to be and I have a hard time letting go of some stuff but I feel like this is making me better...better in that I am more organized, things are not everywhere, I am becoming more disciplined, and I am taking care of what God has given me better. I now also know better the idea of quality over quantity. I also figure if I won't have as much to pack when I eventually move out of my parents house!
So yeah...this is something I am still working on...maybe I will give updates every once and a while...for now though I am going to go tackle my off season dresser and see what I can get rid of! haha. :)
