Confession: I like stuff. All kinds of stuff. Stuff makes me happy...and I have far too much of it.
I finally came to terms with myself today after the many hours spent packing for my big adventure. Tomorrow's the big day - the day I leave for South Korea! And with this discovery of "loving stuff", way more than any person should, today was a nightmare. Deciding what to bring to an unfamiliar country in which I'll be staying for a year was absolute torture! Packing may not have been so terrible if Korea didn't have four seasons...but guess what - they do. And well, I'm excited to experience that again coming from Arizona, but I kind of only had one wardrobe there. So too many choices turned into some MAJOR prioritizing. What do I really need!?! But when you love stuff like I do, you need everything! Unfortunately that everything comes with a pretty price tag...so for this girl, limitations had to be made. I managed to fit a years worth of "stuff" into two large suitcases and one carry-on piece of luggage. I have to admit, I am proud of myself for even getting through this day, having to leave the majority of my "stuff" behind. But what lies ahead is more important than stuff. It just happens to be another opportunity to collect even more stuff! And foreign stuff at that! :)
Now, for confession number 2...
I may or may not have walked around in my high school prom dress all afternoon while going through all of my stuff. :)
I have a feeling for those who know me, that's not to far of a stretch.
What more can I say than I still love stuff - my stuff! :)
