I’ve been playing this song on my Quarters CD for quite some time.
This is a case of Be Careful What You Ask For because I’m just now noticing how many things I’ve been forced to give up as a result. So many things we think we care about, we think make us a better person, we think prepare us for the future, may actually be getting in the way, unneeded, and really hard to give up!
The act of simplifying has removed so much from my life that I began fighting back. If I really don’t need these things, there is no reason to keep them, no matter how useful they can be. Still, I could have saved myself some emotional weather by not wishing for this.
Just offering a head’s up.
Now that I recognize what’s happening, I can work with the spell instead of fighting it. I have the choice to continue to dig out waste and simplify or to step back on a plateau to rest until I am ready to try again. At least I now know not to replace these things and waste money on them, no matter how much I enjoy them.
