Where was I with this.
Being aware of things that make you happy that you have, being aware of things that don't make you happy that you don't have, I think we're up to getting rid of things that don't make you happy:
| make you happy | don't make you happy | |
| have | 1. be grateful for this | 3. get rid of that | don't have | 4. then, get this | 2. be grateful for this |
So, I swear this is true: I had a much longer post here about getting rid of things that don't make you happy, it was a list of actual things that I'm getting rid of. I thought it would be interesting, but it wasn't. And I actually thought to myself, I'm not happy with this but what can you do—
GOT RID OF IT.
Seriously what was making me think that I was obliged to publish a post I wasn't happy with? It's a blog, it's my blog that I'm in charge of. It has to be the single only place where I answer to nobody, particularly since I disabled comments.
Just inertia, I think! Think about that, how some things hang on for no good reason, they're just incumbent, and you, yes you, can vote the bastards out. I don't mean politically though that also applies, I really am just thinking about my closet. And how throwing stuff out is like being awake and sentient with a will of your own, and not a golem. Gaining possession of yourself.
