Task #2 Spring Clean My Room

Well it's official. I am a pack rat. I can't, for the life of me, get rid of some of the most unnecessary things. I went through my closet my make shift wardrobe, my night stand, and all the papers sitting on my desk and eliminated very little of my horde. Everything I pulled out had either sentimental value or possible potential and went right back where I got it from, except possibly in a slightly neater fashion. It's hard to part with stuff. I always wind up thinking there will be that one occasion one day in the future where the item I'm contemplating tossing will come in handy and I will be angry for wasting it. I also have a nasty habit of reading every piece of paper I come across, loose or in a journal, and most likely end up shoving it in the envelop of  "important" papers, that will in reality, never be read again ( at least not until I attempt to "spring clean" again). So as you can imagine the cleaning process was rather long and drawn out. I actually took several days to accomplish very little. It's a good thing I didn't venture to the back of my closet, full of old bedding that doesn't even fit my mattress. Besides you never know when that stuff is going to come in handy!

However, I did manage to start a give away bag that consists mainly of things that are totally out of date, won't fit me in any near future, or existed in duplicate. Trust me the bag isn't half way full. But at the very least I was able to get rid of a bunch of garbage and organized the make up, jewelry, and random art/office supplies clumped together in bags and drawers. And now, I can walk in a clear path to every corner of my room. I guess that's something.
