    do you ever feel like you have too much stuff? ive being feeling a bit overwhelmed lately by all the junk i have. i have large bins of clothes im going to sell on ebay and even more clothes im going to donate. i also have over 60 stuffed animals that i need to get rid of and a ridiculous amount of cds that i dont even know what to do with. i have a collection of paintings that i did and no where to put them yet im not ready to sell them just yet.
    im always buying new things and its a little difficult for me to throw stuff away. i cant keep up with myself. ive spent around 600 on clothes since june already...almost everything that i buy is really cheap so you can imagine how many items ive bought for that much money. i have too much stuff.

    i want to invite you all over to pick through everything and take what you want

    I don't have a lot of stuff. I have to fly in a week and I'm considering leaving one of my guitars behind... but that's not because I don't want that much stuff, it's because I'm lazy and don't want to carry a guitar through an airport.

    I try to keep my carry on baggage to a bare minimum when flying.

    Yeah, so do I... but I can't really allow myself to leave my guitar behind... so I'll probably end up stumbling around with my guitar and backpack as I piss off flight attendants who have to deal with it.

    I think there's some website called freecycle or something. It's pretty cool.

    Before I moved overseas for the first time I had a chance to get rid of all of my useless crap and start a fresh. Now I am getting really good at only buying and keeping the things I need.

    I wish I could just put everything in a bag and throw it away sometimes. Ever since I moved back to my parents, I realized that I have no room whatsoever, since everything is in my room. It's insane.

    YES! I have no problem giving things away or throwing them away. However, teh husband, likes to hold on to stuff. He has however gotten so much better. he had to, we moved into a house almost half the size of our old one.
    I would like to hold a free garage

    You change your ways after an airline looses your baggage once or twice.

    You sound like my husband! He has a hard time thorwing things away and we've gotten into fights about me throwing stuff away or donating it. I HATE CRAP. it drives me nuts.
    I have less clothes and now that we've moved, shoes than him. When I buy something new, I donate something old.
