tick tick tick

I'm stressed.

(Not angry, mind you, just stressed).

And I'm not even really stressed about school. I'm stressed about moving and responsibility and projects and things I want to accomplish outside of school.

And all of this is made worse by the fact that my room is a disaster.

But I'm moving on Thursday. And I'm going to try and not take my messes with me.

Here's to fresh starts and clean carpet.

"Shout! Shout! Let it all out!" - Tears for Fears

You know what? It seems that we have control of every single thing in our lives: our careers, our mindset, our decisions everyday, our goals, our failures, our attitude even. There are not many things that can really be taken away from us unless we decide to give it away. But I would argue that there is one thing, one simple yet so majestically complicated thing in which we have absolutely zero control.... okay.... we have a tiny bit...

And for that one thing I am so SUPER frustrated! ....I hate losing control.... *Phooie*

two suitcases, one backpack and a purse

I officially have way too much stuff.

Too much to be car-less and flying home for the whole summer, cramming it all into a couple checked suitcases, a carry-on and one small personal item (aka my largest purse). At least Southwest lets you check two bags for free.

Sometimes I want to just give it all away and start fresh. Simplify. Wouldn't it be nice if all I needed really did fit in two suitcases, one backpack and a purse? (instead of storing ten boxes of my life in a different basement every summer when I go home).

How much do I really need?
