I can't say I have the feeling that I'm supposed to give it all away, but I do know I am supposed to get rid of alot of it. Yes we do hold onto things for memories sake but why? Do we feel like if we don't have a tangible object we wont remember that time or place? I could say "Hey why don't I just take a picture of it and save it on the computer" but then where does it go? Into the recess of my computer to never be seen again? I say that because I am way to 'busy' to look through files on my computer for memories sake. Which brings me to my second point:</div><div>I need things to do.</div><div>Why do I need to constantly be going and moving and not enjoying the moment. I've found that even when I schedule time to go to the lake or relax I can only sit there for about 15 minutes before I feel like I have wasted too much time. Do I need more time? No. Do I need to do less? Probably not. Could I re-budget my time? Only with a different job. </div><div><br /></div><div>It's very hard for me lately to think that there are people fighting for the best sales on Black Friday and wasting countless hours doing nothing (yes I am counting myself in all of this) when there are people out there working their hardest and spending their whole lives just to get food and shelter. You can see how motivated I am to help as I sit here in my nice warm bed typing on my overpriced laptop with my only worry being "Will I ever fall asleep? I drank way too much caffeine at dinner." </div><div><br /></div><div>How's that for non-linear thought?</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1485207716776609065-2460592152413162454?l=sirandrewmiller.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Andrew Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06827761752727423143noreply@blogger.com0
