many may disagree with me but what i mean is : if you’re gonna buy things, use your things
consume the things you choose to purchase..
i only say this as i have hoarder tendencies and i feel guilty when a candle runs out, but i have to remember; that is what it is meant for

Donate, sell, or toss things. If you haven't used it in the last 6 months? Gone. If it doesn't fit? Gone. If you don't know what it is? Gone. But it goes beyond removing things, you have to learn to then fight the urge to over-consume again. Richard Foster says this -- "Overconsumption is a "cancer eating away at our spiritual vitals." It cuts the heart right out of our compassion. It distances us from the great masses of broken bleeding humanity. It converts us into materialists. We become less able to ask moral questions. For example, just because we have the economic muscle to buy up vast amounts of the world's oil, does that give us the right to do so? When the poor farmer of India is unable to buy a gallon of gasoline to run his simple water pump because the world's demand has priced him out of the market, who is to blame?" -- Overconsumption is a plague that starts with owning too many t-shirts but leads to the oppression of the poor and disenfranchised. We would do best to fight the plague at the start and become people who are less dependent on the ownership of things. Donate, sell or toss.

i am a journalist for a local zine & i get to host my first interview today, interviewing a local music venue/kava bar
so insanely thrilled. adrenaline thru the roof. getting to learn about someone else, having a conversation with impressive people solely about them, being a listener. everyone should interview, even if it’s not for something published
