Bits and Pieces

I think I'm slowly forming into the person I really want to be.

Little by little.

Piece by piece.

Throwing out the old, worn-out, useless bits.

Emptying myself of the trash that's been cluttering up my insides.

You know how I can tell?

I'm cleaning out the apartment.

Yesterday I recycled some magazines.  I took the trash.

Today I recycled a bag of bottles.

This afternoon I'll take a load out of the car.

Tomorrow I'll recycle another bag of bottles, or perhaps the bags full of more plastic bags.

Once I'm done with that, I'll move on to getting rid of things like extra clothing, boxed food that I can no longer eat, kitchen appliances -- worn out, never used, *stuff* that just sits there.

There's more room in my house than I know.  I haven't been utilizing the space well.  But the overwhelming knowledge that my house was *full* of trash made the task seem impossible.

Then I realized, I just needed to take one thing out at a time.

I'm trying to do that internally as well.

I think simplicity is important to me, and I never would have guessed that even two years ago.
