Two Weeks- Grizzly Bear

(Note: Song title means nothing. It's just the song I am listening to while typing this blog.)

After being home for about 3 days, since the return from me vacation, I decided to formally unpack. This took a while because of the fact that I brought back more than what I left with. After a few hours of re-arranging all of my belongings I came to the conclusion that I have too much stuff. This is not just clothes, or beauty products, but I have too much of everything. I have so much that it makes me feel as though my life is filled with nothing but materialist things. Have you ever come to feel like that? And it wasn't just my half of my room, but all over my house. Everywhere I looked, I came to see nothing but American materialism. Whoever started that idea had everything wrong in their life.
Anyway, getting back to the point... Why don't people think that having less materialist things gives them more fulfillment in their lives? I don't know, but after a very productive spring cleaning last year (in which I threw away a whole lotta shit), I felt freer; like I was more in touch with who I really was and what I really wanted.
As for the next few weeks, before classes start up, I will commit myself to clean up more of my space, and more of my life. I hope that if you do the same, you find yourself more able to be free to be you (and for me to be me)... and as always, be young and free!
