I remember before I met my XABF I moved into my first home, a condo. I moved the bulk of my posessions in my truck and hired two guys to move four large pieces including my bed across town. It seems once I started dating X I began nesting and acquiring far more than just an extra toothbrush and a second dresser.
I feel like it's time to keep it simple. Focus on just what I need and leave the rest safely packed away for now.
Wow Alice, you really hit the nail on the head for me, and now I know what I've been doing! In the process of de-cluttering my emotional life, I've now started de-cluttering the house physically!
Once my 21 year old moved out, I finally understood how knotted up I had been emotionally over the past few months, though I felt I had been detaching.
Then I looked at my house, and there is so much crap that I don't need. My dumpster has been getting a lot of activity.
I'm simplifying my life in more ways than one, and it really does feel good.
