This weekend was a great feeling. I was able to start separating myself from my stuff. When my mom moved out of the house I grew up in while I was in college, she packed everything in my room into boxes and put them in her basement. For the past 6 years these boxes have been sitting in these boxes. My mom has recently moved again and this time the boxes we placed in my dad's basement. I finally took the time to go through all the boxes and begin the process of downsizing.
I was amazed at how much junk has been taking up space for so long. It was fun to walk down memory lane while going through all my stuff. I found everything from baby blankets to report cards to old sports illustrated swimsuit editions. When all was said and done, I was able to get rid of 8 boxes of old stuff and packed 2 boxes for Goodwill. I have to admit that some pretty useless junk survived the first cut. Some by my choice, some my dad's. When will I ever use 2 over sized Dracula mugs? Probably never, but my dad was convinced they were too nice to just get rid of. Also the reason why so many cassettes still remain.
While there are probably 12 more boxes, I feel like it is much more manageable.
