Packing

Oh no.

I started trying to do this the other day. Granted, I’m not moving out of my apartment for another seven weeks, but I’ve moved enough to realize how much I need to try and get the jump on this. Monday I suddenly felt inspired, and I figured “Why not? Let’s get cracking!”

A couple hours later I was sitting at my desk, staring into space, trying to figure out how on earth I am going to accomplish this momentous task. I am very bad at packing. Every little thing has significance. I can remember who gave me that weird hat, or the amazing day that ticket stub is from, or what if some day I find an outfit that necklace matches perfectly?

Then I find myself completely overwhelmed. Now, I’ll be honest about my successes: I filled a huge bag with things to give away, another large bag of trash, and I had a box full of paper to recycle. However my goal is to eliminate the majority of my belongings. I’m not sure I’ll ever get there.

I guess it’s just one of those things that will get done because it has to.
