I Have Too Much Stuff

In the process of moving this week, I became cutely aware of how many boxes of largely superfluous possessions I had to painstakingly lug up and down multiple flights of stairs. I then compounded this by buying even more unnecessary trash, despite being already cogniscent that I had too much of it in the first place - everything I purchased, I had persuaded myself was 'essential'.

Sure, perhaps I am as much a victim of capitalist dogma as the rest of us, and have just now become more acutely aware of it. But all these material goods weigh heavy on my soul - I can't help but wonder if I would feel a great sense of liberation on becoming free of it all.

Naturally, I am far too scared to take the plunge and find out.
