I'm tired of being a hostage to junk, my junk, for no one else collected it but me. And really only I can convince self to get rid of it, which is always easier said than done.

It's as if junk just has a phycological effect over us, you go to get rid of it and it starts convincing you that you still need it, when you really don't.
Soon that junk just starts costing you money, time and space, you could never imagine years ago.

I got boxes and crap, wires, old usb cords, paper, and just junk man, I need to get rid of it, and use that space for something other than storing junk.
It's like right now JUNK is my roommate.

Here's what I'm learning about junk I've learned if don't do anything with the junk in your life, haven't sold it, haven't given it away, no one to give it to, than just throw it all away, or it will prevent you from moving forward. I have junk in the back room, no one to give it to, to lazy to try to sell it, which could take weeks, and so thinking about just taking it all to dumpster, electronics and all. Or could run add to 'come get it all, and set one big price. Like $200.00 for everything...but if that doesn't work, once again left with room full of junk that I could be using that room for other things that could actually earn me money.

Personally, I just don't think I'm going to be able to move on with my life until I clear space of all the junk. this idea that my past, through the junk I have, is going to ever have meaning to anyone other than myself is foolhearty.
Not that self doesn't matter, not that things don't and can't have sentimental meaning, but when those things start preventing forward advancement in life, time to let go of them, if want memories than snap some pictures of the junk before you let it go.

That means papers, notes, everything taking up space just must go, I'm just tired of being held hostage to it all, I mean if died tomorrow, it would all go anyways, someone would just come in and throw it all away anyways. The junk in my life isn't doing me any good, it's just preventing me from moving forward.

Also, the less junk I have anchoring me down, the more app I am to move. In my late teens, early 20's, I was super mobile cause all I really owned was a nap sack full of stuff. But the more stuff we own, the less likely we are to move and feel 'stuck'.

OK, I think I'm ready to do this, I mean what else am I going to do today?
If I clear out that back room, it will force me to move forward, to try other things. The past is gone, no one cares about my past, and my past sure isn't earning me any money.
My reality is what it is.
I just don't have lots of people in my life who need stuff, or I could just go down town and lay it on the streets and let the homeless sell it, now that's an idea.

Going to divide junk up this way
1. Goodwill
2. Sale, or try to
3. trash
And that's it.
That room could be saving me up to 5-600 a month, just hanging onto junk isn't saving me a dime.

First will eat some hornel rice, and crackers, for the energy I'll need to do this, both mental energy and physical energy. I'm going to have to mentally grow up and mature and start thinking like a business person, if ever expect to save enough to get what I want. And not even sure what I want anymore. I think what I want now is to just never feel fiscally desperate. I want peace of mind, but can't have peace of mind if always know you could go broke soon if things go wrong. Oops, late sending this, should of 'created post' over an hour ago but go distracted.

Like most, I do have lots of old DVD's that no longer watch, and new computers don't even have DVD players anymore Yes, like most or many, I do have a bunch of DVD's stacked up over the past years, even though haven't watched any of them in over 1 year or more. The last one I ordered was twylight zone, season two, then got new computer that didn't have player, and when try using external one, you have to pay, and then read reviews and seems like a hit and miss thing. Bottom line, what to do with DVD's, or junk. Lot's of good movie classics, but now they're all on Amazon or Netflix or YT, and I don't watch DVD's on regular TV anymore, cause I like being able to 'crop' or screen capture certain moments. so again I'm faced with choice, dwell over them or just put them in the 'donate to Goodwill' catigory. Cause if can't sell them all at once, not going to play the phone tag thing over months of people calling just to say stupid things. It's just more junk I'm a prisoner to, so I think I'll just get rid of all of them. No one really cares what you have, had or owned, unless famous and or have lots of family to give stuff to, im neither. So to me, I guess it's just trash, what was so treasured once upon a time, is not basically trash to me, objects taking up space that I no longer use. And I know I just don't have the spirit to go down to the flea market and sell them, I don't have anyone in my life to give me such spirit. When a drank, the alcohol would give me that spirit, but I don't drink anymore. ___________________________________________ I've got back closet about cleared out. I'm in a throw it away mood, so I've got to take advantage of this mood while it's in me. Going to get dressed soon and prepare to disperse some of this stuff in dumpster, in vehicle for goodwill and wherever else.

OK, almost done OK, I've pretty much done it, totally cleared out closet, years of stuff, just stuff, mainly electronic stuff that I don't even remember buying, past years of shopping at Walmart I suppose, and other cheap retail outlets, who knows. USB cords, tons of them, headsets, mini earbud sets, mini am/fm radios (what was I thinking?) writing tablets, paper, souveneer type stuff, when I use to travel to a lot of those service centers on the highway. And just more stuff that ends up taking up space, in drawers, for no freagin reason at all, and all it does is sit there for years and years and years. Well not anymore, off to the junk yard for some, off to goodwill store for others, but either way all that junk will get a second chance; it'll either be recycled or used again by another person, or even animal. And I'm doing all this cause it's just time. Ever get to a point in your life where you just know it's that time, that time to move on, that time to usher in a change, where you've sat around for so many years just expecting things to change on their own and they never do. No Prince charming or Princess charming ever seems to come rescue you. Or if into cross dressing sissy males, none of them come to rescue you, ect ect. And you just get to that point where your internal clock says 'Hey, it's time to move'. Move as in get going, move as in it's time for action. Well I'm at that point now, I need to engineer a change in my life, for my own sanity sake. Cleaning out that room will prove to be an important excercise in me moving forward in life, regardless whether I fix it up for a roommate or not, just the fact that I took the mental and physical steps to clear that room out will give me courage to clean out other areas of my life.

One thing about cleaning, and clearing stuff, is when do so, stir up dust, spores, mold and who knows what, then end up sneezing, like I am now, or getting the sniffles. Is why I so badly will not stop until whole place is cleared out to my liking, sanitized, and things gotten rid of. The more stuff you have lingering in your place, the more of an environment it gives to bacteria and mold, and spores, fungi, and other microbes. When I use to live out in the woods, I'd just create large bonfire and burn everything, I miss those days.
