let it go

Sorry I haven't been blogging much lately. I have been doing major overhaul on my life. Mostly in the form of gutting my room, from top to bottom. I've been getting rid of so much clutter over the past 6 days- my room is starting to look more and more like a minimalist's. Interesting though, because if you know me at all, you know I have some pack-rat-ish tendencies. It's not easy to let things go for me. They aren't just things, they have memories attached to them. But the more I get rid of, the lighter, freer, and better I feel.

Something about clearing out old baggage and clutter has always felt completely symbolic to me. When your space is clear, EVERYTHING in life seems clearer. Whereas, when you're living in a room full of scattered clothes and old textbooks and dirty dishes, your mind can feel fuzzy. So I'm embracing the clarity that comes with this much simpler existence.

So here's to letting go! To habits, negativity, or just some old stuff shoved in the back corner of your closet- no matter how great or small, letting go makes life a little sweeter.

You say let it go
You say life is waiting for the one's who lose control
You say You will be everything I need
You said if I lose my life it's then I'll find my soul
You say let it go.
