The Urge To Purge
Do you ever feel like to just want to get rid of everything you own? I go through phases of this. I'm not a hoarder. My house isn't that cluttered (I mean, I have a toddler so there's some chaos). But sometimes I look around and start thinking about selling stuff. Donating it. Throwing it away. Just getting it the hell out of my face. Even the useful stuff that I use on a pretty regular basis. I just want it gone.
Getting rid of a few legitimately useless items (like boxes in the basement, or a few pieces of clothing) seems to help, but I think it's largely just a consequence of my life feeling a bit out of control. Selling stuff is a way that I can take back some of that control by manipulating my environment. Taking immediate action and making a change to my physical space. It feels good, but doesn't actually solve the problem in the background.
I'll keep doing it anyway, but it's just something I've noticed about myself.
