Remember when I was all about decluttering my living space?
Back then I knew that upon my return, I would live another life in some ways. And how did that work out for me?
Well, the whole idea was to redefine myself, as the things you own shape you to an extent.
And indeed it feels like some stale old parts have been stripped from me, enabling me to focus on the present and future.
Not only that, but I continued with my clothes the very next day after the arrival. As almost none of them were inside the mysterious cycle of laundry, I got them all out of the closet and well…who needs 80 pairs of socks, anyway? 😀
And I continued: My stash of valuable things I now saw way more clearly, with all the clutter gone. What could be sold, what should be replaced and what I should actually use for once.
Optimisation is the word. Now I have a proper big screen in front of me, a proper new set of front speakers and a camera flash with a rechargeable battery. Feels good!
Most importantly though, I absolutely demolished my ToDo-List™ of things I promised myself or people long times ago.
This is the pinnacle of achievements, I feel. I was able to prioritise more clearly and didn’t have so many skeletons in the closet, so to speak, that would hold me back from actually facing these long-waiting tasks, which passively shaped a diffuse future of things I felt like having to do one day.
Now, many of those things have been done, deleted, converted into appointments or flight tickets and on some days I even felt this feeling of being able to be spontaneous. Visiting friends or doing utterly unnecessary things or tackling the next long cradled wish and being free of but one more sorrow.
Never would I have imagined this half year having such a deep and profound impact on my life. One more reason to be grateful and seeing Sir Oliver evolve.
