I want my money now.
It’s amazing how much stuff one can accumulate over the years. Most of the stuff we tend to hoard is totally unnecessary, but for some reason we hold onto it thinking that one day we may be able to use it. Like, why do I have 4 shot glasses in my cupboard? I don’t even drink tequila or do shots. No one I know (except for my little cousins, but they’d probably just drink straight out of the bottle) or hang out with likes taking shots of booze. So, why do I have them? Perhaps it’s because one day someone, whom I don’t know, will uninvitedly come over to my house and want to take shots of alcohol? Yeah, I don’t think so.
Out with the crap! I will gather all unwanted items in my house and sell it at a garage sale with leftovers donated to the ARC of Ventura County.
Yeah…well… I have a little secret. My sudden urge to declutter my house and my life is not all my doing. The big corporations and mass media have influenced my thought. For the past couple of months I have been obsessively watching Hoarders on A&E. The show has traumatized me. I have tried many times to change the channel, but my hands won’t do what my mind is telling me. Help! Now, I have this intense fear that one day I may suddenly snap and lose all logic to become an old cat lady that collects newspapers and used paper plates and cat skeletons because one day I may need them for something important. Like burning down my house!
NEVER will I allow this to happen to me. Clutter will no longer dictate my life, and that is why I made a nice C-note today at my garage sale. Now, I wonder what I can buy with it…
