Just a little bit courage

I'm getting there, the ultimate dream of mine, a real minimalistic lifestyle. Though I haven't done anything special lately. There are a lot of things happening in my life right now and taking the time, sitting down and jotting things down hasn't been my primarily goal. Healthy issues, family and study were all part of it.

It has calmed down a bit, the flu season isn't passing by and I just recovered from it thus making me kinda vulnerable to get hooked again with the virus. Spring Festival is nearing it's end and with that I got some decorations up. Remember that I don't do decorations at Christmas or any other festivity. All thanks to my nephew I put some paper decoration.

I needed a different strategy in getting rid of stuff. Yesterday, after shopping for three hours I didn't buy anything non-edible. So there aren't really things that are getting in the house, at least not things I have bought. The habit of trowing a half full plastic bag is a no-no but not anymore. The faster I say goodbye to the things in it the faster I forget it and won't feel the pain.

Why am I telling you this, because in the near future, before March I am going to say goodbye to my stuffed dolls. Yes, the hell that any girl or woman has to do in her life. Saying farewell to my friends, companions known and treasured for years. It's time, I have mentally prepared myself for this horrible task but the time has come. I have to at least reduce it by 50%. I need a lot of time and courage.

I am afraid that after looking at those cute dolls I can't let go. The dolls aren't expensive but the emotional value is huge. There are crying dolls, cuddle dolls and conversational dolls. All of them have a special meaning and helped me through times when I was bullied. The time to say goodbye to my stuffed dolls will be needed.
