going through your entire life and trying to whittle down your possessions to the bare necessities is a pretty stressful process.  i've just spent the past two hours cleaning out my closet and aside from clothing, i managed to get everything into one box.  the rest went in the garbage.  trinkets i don't need, books i read and reread enough to be done with...things.  clutter.  signposts from a life i no longer live.

i'm packing myself into boxes trying not to stress too much.

oh, life!
