Packing to move. I am itinerant but was in denial of that. I am going to get rid of so much stuff when I finally get it all consolidated and am able to assess. Mobility is a privilege and unless you are rich the more you stuff have the more inaccessible it becomes. None of it is better than the mobility to me

I've moved a few times with just a couple of suitcases. Lately, I've been thinking it'd be nice to find a home base and somewhere to leave all the things. Constantly trying to stay minimalist, or getting rid of stuff, often turns into mental gymnastics for me. I stop myself from buying something I want because I'm afraid I wont use it – or I already have things I don't use, and they just sit there as mental weight 😩

Oh girl it’s so bad isn’t it All of it is mental gymnastics that is the perfect way to describe I’m looking at all this stuff packing and oscillate between I never use any of this this and oh my gosh if the movers lose this I will die (I won’t die if I lose any of it) One thing that opened my eyes is watching people die My uncle saved a US National Parks map for 30+ years in his stuff. It was in perfect condition. Pretty sure after he died it got thrown away. The emotional attachments mean something mostly only to us alone

Yeah, thinking about death can simplify a lot of life decisions
