Spring clean

I love getting rid of stuff. It seems to lighten the metaphysical burden of existence.

A few years ago I waged several great wars with my clothing. Many bin bags were filled with clothes that I hadn't wore in ages and that I was never going to wear, and out they went. Very little was spared and I felt extremely cleansed afterwards. To date, I miss nothing that I have given away or thrown out, nada. I highly recommend the practice to all.

Today however, I realised that I had added to my wardrobe without doing the necessary taking away, and that my total clothing supply was creeping higher. It was time for a purge.

And purge I have: I've just rid myself of a further 5 shirts, 2 pairs of trousers, 1 pair of jeans, a leather belt, 1 pair of shorts, 3 jumpers, an undershirt thingy, and one suit jacket. This leaves me with just one pair of jeans and two pairs of tracksuit bottoms for my bottom half, so to speak, but it's plenty enough for the time being.

Feels good.
