This morning, all of my life possessions arrived safe and sound having made the 2,926 mile journey from New York to California. (Which Google Maps says should only take you 1 day and 19 hours....hmmmmm). Now I am confronted with a new challenge in this moving experience, well, two actually.
- How to unpack all of this stuff and know where to put everything
- How to deal with actually having possessions again.
I will be honest, while I am very happy for a real bed, I did actually become quite comfortable leaving a very simple life. Yes I had my computer and TV, but that was about it. No need for much furniture, no decorative items, just me and the basics. Now I have so much stuff again and everything seems so cluttered. Of course, that could be because of the 70+ boxes sitting in the middle of the room! While I will get everything away and live once again as a person with items, I must say that I really enjoyed the experience of not having much because it taught me about how little we actually need. The experience allowed me to strip away to the basics for the most part and know that in the future maybe we don't need as many possessions as the consumer culture says that you do. Well that's all for now.....I'm just going to sit back on my couch now and fantasize about my future flat screen TV....KIDDING!!......well....maybe. =)
-Nice Guy-
