A Journey
I'm rich... not in dollars. Better than dollars :) I am journeying to (but "to" indicates there is a final destination, so, within? towards?) a life with few strings.
This year so far, I:
gave away 72 paintings
gave away 19 bags of Things (two more boxes ready to go) including shoes, clothes (all my clothes fit in one 32" x 42" dresser, excluding outerwear and two handmade costume pieces)
gave away my bedfrane and mattress, a 6' bookshelf, and a sewing table
deleted all FB accounts permanently
deleted about 1/3 of my digital music
gave away all but 113 books (at some point I had nearly 700)
paid off all debt
quit drinking and smoking pot
threw away 50% of my physical photos
stopped feeling lonely and started spending most of my time by myself, happily!
became vegan
became celibate
started studying Spanish again
started reading again
started doing art seriously again
sadly, lost some friends due to mania :(
I am also going to be giving away or selling:
2 papasans frames (and keeping the cushions to use as floor seating)
a small vanity
MY GAMING COMPUTER (and am replacing it with a lightweight, middle of the line laptop)
4 a box full of random things
Also, in the works:
going through all ALL of my photos, most of my artwork, deleting doubles etc.
consolidating all my art, mostly old drawings that I haven't had a chance to organize. Will throw away crappy drawings. I spent a few hours on this a couple days ago
