Every once in a while, we have some form of clutter in our lives. It ranges from old things that we've always held tight, to others that we bought, thinking we'd use them, only not to use them, others are just out-of-date, or we've outgrown them. For whatever reason, decluttering ensures that all the things we considered junk and useless out of our lives.
I took time out of my busy schedule to declutter my life. Not my room, my house, and material possessions; rather, it's the spiritual, the emotional, the personal. I realized that I've done a serious amount of cluttering. I've let many things infiltrate my life - what I see, what I read, who I talk to, what I think... So many things are clouding my rather sober judgement on how to live my life.
I made the seriously hard decision to turn my life around, and I must admit, it hasn't been easy. Many of the things I badly treasure and value need to get out the window. At times, I don't even know what to keep, and what to throw away. Some programs that were a must-watch, are now staring eviction in the face. Some books and magazines I flip are being dumped. And the songs - oh the songs!! I have the painful task of deleting them. Time to start living a clean life. Less is apparently more.
But as I go down this road, my goals get clearer, my life starts making a whole lot more sense. Black and white is separating from the cloud of grey. Everything is taking shape. I can think more clearly, all the me I forgot somewhere in the background is coming forth. There is a whole lot less to worry about. I can somewhat breathe easy.
