the others

I had started this process the month we got engaged--the process of incrementally cleaning out my stuff. 

Drawers.  Containers. 

Shoes.  Clothes.  Make Up. 

Medicine Supply.  Toiletries.

Everything.

It lasted for a month.

---

Over the weekend, I re-started it and I know that this time, it has to happen!

---

I had taken out six pairs of shoes and one flip flops.

I also gave up a miniature burger model I got from McDonald's. 

I threw away four pens, bills and bank statements more than 6 months back.

I cleared nine trousers and three tops.

I donated toiletries that would spoil on me.  Yes, that 1L body wash.

You'd think that would make a dent. 

No. 

My room is the underdog of storage room potential.  You'd think there is no room for much, but let me tell you, it can hold a LOT!

---

I am going through three containers of clothes the next few days and after that I'll tackle the mountain that is my folded house clothes and the others.

The others being, clothes I just throw into my closet.  Clothes I had never worn or clothes I never wear--but feel I would (at some point I can't foresee anytime soon).  Others are what could be more appropriately called 'lessons learnt'.

Wish me luck, offer a short prayer or send positive vibes my way.  This is a mountain I need to climb!
