Are You Gathering Stuff ?

Have you looked around your house lately? What is all that stuff you have and why are you gathering stuff? You probably know what I'm talking about, we had stuff that we bought big containers to pack stuff in so we could put more new stuff in the place where all that stuff used to be. And what do we do with those containers? We take a corner or a wall in the garage and we start stacking and storing all that stuff because we don't want to get rid of it, we may want that someday. The funny thing is underneath the most recent containers full of stuff are containers of stuff that are probably 10 years old, and stuff hasn't even been looked at for least five years.

We've lost all our stuff three times now. Once after suffering a back injury and being denied disability, we couldn't keep all our stuff and didn't have room to take all our stuff with us. Another time was because we lived in a moldy house and didn't know it until it made us all sick. 90% of our stuff was contaminated, so we had to leave it behind. The third time was because the mold incident amplified our allergies and gave us allergies we never had before, so we had to move to a different part of the country to get away from all the allergens and pollens that were in the air. Our van wasn't big enough to take all our stuff with this, so we left our stuff behind.

We learned a lot through our experience with all this stuff, one thing we learned is all this stuff is a burden. If you move you have to pack all that stuff up and take it with you, or you have to have a yard sale to try to get rid of it which is a funny thought because you're trying to sell somebody else the stuff that you don't want, and at the end of the day when you realize nobody else wanted that stuff either, and now you have to throw it away. The problem is you can't put all that stuff out on the curb because the trash man doesn't want all that stuff. That's pretty sad your stuff is so valuable you held onto it for 10 years and you can even give it to the garbage man. So what you have to do? You have to go get a truck and load all your stuff then it and then pay a dump site to take your stuff.
