moving is not better

So, there should be a completely different term for the act of taking all of your personal posessions from one location to another. Perhaps "bad idea" or "fiasco" or "torture" would be better terms. Does anyone know if I plan to write my memoirs someday? Cause I'm not sure if I should keep this box of notebooks from middle school. What about art made by a dead ex? Is that a "keeper"?
I think I need help. Or maybe just a dumpster.

  1. I find that things seem to sort themselves. When I have been going through mementos to move some things just feel like they can go...the ones hat can't will not let you pitch them.

    And ca I read your seventh grade notebooks? I bet some of them are really hilarious.

  2. The last time I did a big purge, I got rid of everything e xcept the essentials, shoes and photographs. I haven't missed anything yet...and when I get around to scanning the photos, I'll get rid of them too.

    It worked for me, it doesn't work for everyone, but I felt better after doing it.
