       "The vast majority of it sits on my shelves attracting dust, not attention, while I'm out adventuring and hiking and camping. Then when I come home, I vow to touch them, read them, listen to them, play them, in order to justify their place on my shelves."https://seasonsofjason.com/on-drastic-measures-and-the-weight-of-worldly-things/

       To give this some context: since October of last year I've been fantasizing about a nomadic life.Not necessarily "van life", but not chained to one place either. All the things I want and need in my car. Able to travel to a new destination and explore it on a whim.I backed off, believing it was a bipolar impulse. Or at the very least, a foolish idea. But I've been sitting with it for months, with a clear head, and it isn't either of those things.It's just scary, and inertia is comforting.

       @killyourfm man, me too! I've been thinking about traveling the country in a van, meeting people who will challenge my beliefs, my politics, and my ideologies and putting that out into the world. I want to be curious and see the world from other people's perspective.

       @killyourfmas someone who purged and is now on the accumulation side again, I can say that I didn't regret any of it and very few of these items we have are irreplaceable. I didn't travel much because that brings me great anxiety but I got rid of most of my belongings at one point. I say all of that to say it's not a scary thing, although it can feel like it. You can always get (most) stuff back if you want.

       @djsumdog @hobbs Thank you for documenting this, and giving us a glimpse into your mindset. More than that, thanks for being so transparent. That takes a lot of courage. If you have other posts about your travels, I'd love to read them. I find it fascinating we both came to Croatia only a couple months apart (a guess based on your photo stream). It's a small world, after all.
