Packing Sucks!

this scene reminds me of a year and a half ago when i first arrived in atlanta...

i hated moving then, and i hate it now. it takes me forever to pack this crap.

FOREVER.

for whatever reason i feel like i need to sort thru everything (including the 6 boxes i never unpacked) to see if there are things that really need to stick around for the next ride.

and even tho i've gotten rid of a ridiculous amount of stuff (dropped off 12 overflowing bags, some framed art, and a shoe rack at goodwill today), i'm still finding myself unable to part w/things i probably won't look at again til the next move (i.e. my high school yearbook).

i'm even finding myself justifying why i should keep some crap. for example, today i found 2 purses shoved inside a computer box that i thot was just sitting empty all this time in my closet. i haven't seen these things since 2007, had totally forgot about them, and yet still felt compelled to keep one just in case.

(in my defense, i did give up another bag in a similar color, and i might use it again someday.)

(maybe...)

kinda wish i had opted to hire movers in leaving this place. i could've left everything as is and they would've packed it all within a few hours. can't wait til this is over!
