Why is it that people like and want stuff. Why do so many of us want more stuff? I was at the store yesterday and over heard a girl say "I would love to have all of this" and then she added "If only I could afford to buy it all this stuff!"
She was looking at some very colorful house decorating things, none of which are vital to a comfortable attractive home. So again, why do we want more stuff?
When I was younger, I always wanted more stuff, I liked stuff, and I thought that my bed room was messy because I didn't have the necessary organizing... yes, stuff. So to clean up and organize my 'stuff' I needed to buy more 'stuff'!?!?
When J and I were moving to SC, I had much of our non-daily used 'stuff' packed away a month before we were going to move. I thought we would 'get by' with what I left out. Turns out what I left out was just what we needed, easy to clean, easy to put away, nothing extra, no stuff laying around, which lead to .... Happiness!
Then after we moved into our larger new apartment we unpacked 'what we needed' and were very happy still.
It happened weeks later. I started opening boxes of stuff, boxes filled with stuff, stuff we had not used or thought about for 6 months. I even found a couple boxes of stuff from when I moved in with J five, that's 5 years ago. I have clothes that have been in my closet for 4 years, and I have never worn them!
All this stuff! Take it away!
