tOo MUch, FaR ToO mUCh

I bought new furniture and re-decorated my room. There was too much clutter, too much junk, too many memories.

I tried to get rid of as many things as I could, and realized, to my horror, that I have so much. Too much, in fact. And I feel bad, for all those who are lacking, who are wanting, who do not have the simple basics of food and clothes and shelter. Even though we donate the things, it doesn’t make me feel any better that I bought that extra bag and shoes on a whim. Because money comes easy, I take it very much for granted. Like it is my birthright.

So hereby I do solemnly declare that I will buy nothing but food and transport for the next 3 months.
