Living In My Car

is live in my car.

I don’t know why. I just want the simplicity. I want the mobility. I don’t want all of this stuff that I have to store, clean, maintain.  Compared to most people, I probably don’t really have that much. I live in an 880 sq ft minimalist house and drive a five year old economy hatchback. I do have a lot of books and a lot of clothes.

What I have that would be very hard to part with:

• Four large bookcases of books. An equal amount stored in my garage.
• One beautiful antique dining room table.  My husband wrote all of his books on that table… I love that table.
• Other misc sentimental small objects.
• My computer and my phone
• Some of my (shamefully expensive) clothes

What I have that would be sort of hard to part with:

• My green modern sofa
• My two cool modern chairs
• My funky green TV trays
• Other miscellaneous one of a kind vintage items (vintage Playboys, cool ass lamps, 1960s black and white TV, etc)
• My StairMaster, which I got for a mere $300.

What I have that I wouldn’t miss:

• Living room chair, two ottomans, TV table
• HD flat screen TV
• Xbox 360 and expensive games
• All of my modern kitchen stuff, dishes, etc.

So, do I have the guts to have a big garage sale? I feel burdened by all of these material things that I have to keep up with, so why do I feel so anxious about getting rid of them?

Tomorrow I am going to get rid of something.
