have u noticed recently that some of your shirts/pants are sneaking out of your wardrobe because they can barely breath in it anymore? every other day u either spend a lot of time looking for what you want to wear from the mountain of apparels or just keep wearing those new stuff you recently bought because they are easily available from the dryer? what about unused electronic gadgets (inc the chargers and packaging boxes), dvds, magazines, books, kitchenwares, and all other stuff that you intend or have actually replaced with substitutes? those old stuff really cling on us sometimes. most of the times because of the sentimental values, or we just thought we might need them again someday.
no doubt the: needs for new stuff, wants for beautiful new things, desires to follow the trend, demand to keep on the technology advancement, and of course, the purchasing power that you have. unless you have huge storage space or dedicated museum that you can keep your stuff when they've turned into antique, remember the basic rule of balancing the IN and the OUT.
you should consider:
- donate them. there will be people who need them. and what's better than sharing a little bit of your fortune with those in need?
- sell them. ebay, blogshop, fleamarket, what else..? they never were the investments, so don't think of making money out of the sales.
- exchange them. hey, your friends might like your vintage, you'll never know.
- dump them. yes, dump them! you don't need to provide more nests to bug mites, do you?
not only that you are creating spaces in your home, but you are indirecly helping the world to 'recycle' things. so, get your stuff sorted out from now on, and see you in the fleamarkets.
