Throwing out my life today but that's ok

I rented a big 20 yard dumpster and I'm emptying the basement and garage.

No mercy, no sentiment. It's all going. I've held onto too much stuff over the years for sentimental reasons and I feel like I can't breathe around here.

I found my old banjo down there.
Why am I keeping this?
What made me think I needed to learn the banjo when I was 13 years old?
One of many things I took up around that age, then turned around and thought " what the hell am I doing?"

One thing I found so far that gets a reprieve:
My great-grandmother's cheese grinder.
It's an heirloom at this point.

Im envious.

I need to knuckle down and do this.
I need to let go all those projects that'll never happen, and hand me downs I'll never hand down.
....its all just emotional baggage now.
@OogieBoogie that's exactly what ran through my head. I thought just rent the freakin' dumpster and do it.
@robingoodfellow GO FOR IT 💪. Grab that energy while you have it .... and HAVE at it !

Ive lost half of my belongings more than once before, and excluding a few months lamentation over it - it was actually emotionally cleansing.

Actually...this has reminded me of, ultimately how good it was.

Go forth and heave thy shit gone😊👍
