I love going through my closet and looking for paper to recycle, old toys to get rid of, clothes to give to goodwill, and junk I can trash. I often do this when I'm bored. I think it's fun. My dad is always getting rid of stuff, I probably got it from him. Is this normal?
I have a rule where if I haven't touched it in 6 months I don't need it.
I wish I followed my rules.
I wish i could let go of those films and games that i will never play again.
I wish I was even like that. I have two bags of bubble wrap that I might need one day. Boxes of string that might come in handy. Old beads that I'll get around to restringing one day (I haven't been in my garage for over two years...) Electronics/house goods that I'm honestly going to donate to charity (when I can be bothered to take the box two blocks down the street). A washing machine that is broken but can be fixed, I just need to list in on free cycle. Maybe next week. Two broken suitcases and a broken clothes drying rack. I don't know what that's about exactly...
This is after a spring clean of sorts last week :/
OP...can I hire your throwing shit out services, please? :(
You would have made the perfect kid growing up sailing around the world.
Every year the toys, stuffed animals, etc. that my kid never played with had to go and we gave them to the local kids.
Today, at 40, she has the most cluttered house I've ever seen (not messy or anything, just lots of things), and NEVER throws anything away. I guess I screwed her up, huh?
Completely normal. That's actually a really good habit or activity you've developed too. It will come in handy later on in life.
