one of the good things about moving out
I am donating a sh*tton of clothes, books, etc. to the Salvation Army.
f.k.a.= Derniermot
Re: one of the good things about moving out
I totally did this, too. I think other than some extra pillows and blankets, my life has become pretty streamlined and simple. It feels awesome.
Plus my place feels bigger because sh.i.t is not piled up in every corner and tumbling out of closets when I open them
Huh...I was just thinking of taking everything I wanted (which, really, is only three small pieces of furniture, a bunch of the kitchen stuff, and all my actual personal belongings that are clearly mine) and leaving the rest behind! Actually, I am planning to preemptively start going through things like books and clothing (although as I have been losing weight over the past two years, I have gotten rid of a LOT of clothing) so that those are ready to donate before I have to pull the trigger on moving out.
In my method of dealing with the reality of this life-altering event in completely a bass-ackwards order, however, I have already picked out new furniture and new kitchen stuff (to replace the stuff that I don't plan to take) and posted it among my Pinterest boards.
Dude, I told my therapist, before I had even asked my XH for a divorce, that I couldn't have The Conversation with him because I was stressing about who would get the microwave! True story. It's crazy the places our mind will go to avoid dealing with the difficult sh.i.t.
