shadowkittenHaving a hard time actually completing my decluttering project. Boxed up about 30 tarot and oracle decks and I really don't want to deal with selling online...so they just sit in the corner of my room :/
Then there's old clothes that I have sentimental attachment for but haven't worn in years, such as a vintage Lip Service dress that Peter Murphy once complimented me on after a show. How in the hell can I get rid of that?! Should I? I use to say that I would get buried in that thing :D
So many half-finished DIY projects its embarrassing. Going to try scheduling into my planner as a task to be checked off. IF that doesn't work then I'm letting it go. I have to be ruthless considering I share a one bedroom apartment and my crap is started to spill out into random piles of stuff in every room. And we know how I love my piles LOL
As far as the bullet journal and papercrafting supplies go-next year is going to be a no buy. At this point, I have enough pens, markers, stamps, planner refills, sticker pads, TNs to last 3 years if not more. I have a few witchy and Halloween sticker pads coming, but after that I'm done for the next 365.
I just hate that it is taking me so long to do this!
It makes me scared to own a house because cleaning and keeping everything orderly seems like it would be overwhelming. The truth is that messy living spaces make me anxious and depressed. Some people can operate in chaos but it makes me feel on edge. Especially in a room that is supposed to be for relaxation and sleep.
At the same time, I have no desire to be a minimalist either. To be fair, I've only lived in a one bedroom apartment or larger spaces shared with multiple people. Truth is, I don't actually have a lot of stuff compared to most Americans. I just tend to have small living spaces that make easy access, storage, and display difficult. So yeah, maybe I am being too hard on myself? Or is there something wrong with me that I have touch every item, flip through every magazine, try on every item before I can let go of it? ugh
Thankfully, it is raining and spiced pumpkin candles are burning. A gloomy day sorting my bookshelves, with a marathon of Addams family or the Munsters in the background actually sounds kinda perfect <3
