I'm moving again to a new home, after 24 months of living the downtown life and enjoying this little place that I have come to love as a home. I think anyone who's ever been to my place would agree, it's very much cosy and made to be "mine", despite the little messes here and there. It definitely has a feel of intimacy to it, well, all those pillows and blankets in the living room may have something to do with it (TV blankets are up there in the list of items that make up an awesome living room, right after nice TV, couch and pillows).
But it is time to say goodbye. In roughly 30 days from now, I will be heaving boxes of my belongings into a new home. The question is, what makes it into the boxes?
Moving always makes you question what is necessary for your living. And I'm going through my things and finding out a bit more about myself, what are the indispensables? Condo living made me learn to edit my belongings, but even that, I still manage to accumulate a lot of unnecessary items. For example, clothes - I have a closetful and a dresser: who needs so many clothes?! Apparently, people have way more than that. How do you live comfortably having so many things around?
So here I am with my big garbage bags again.
Edit: OMFG STRINGS. Why do I have so many?!
Edit: OMFG SINGLE SOCKS.
i'll miss that couch and living room.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww, forced time of reflection! I'm feeling for you :). So excited to see you and Vinny in your new place!!
ReplyDeletePfft I was never invited to your old place, so I better be invited to your new place!
ReplyDeleteAlso wtf strings? Why do you have so many? Who even buys string? What time of strings we talking about?
Ever since I started doing my own laundry (oh how i miss the days of my mom doing it all for me), I never seem to lose any more socks. So it was not the dryer but my mom to blame!

ReplyDeleteOh man the strings, they're a nightmare; girl clothes have all sorts of little strings to them and mine tend to become very independent.
