I was talking to my mom yesterday about why we keep stuff, and she raised the reason, "Because I Like It."
Good point.
Lisa from Cheap Bohemian recently posted about something she kept. She really gets to a point at the heart of our project -- to release ourselves from the bondage of stuff we don't want or need, in order to really enjoy the stuff we enjoy.
(A problem of privilege, I totally get it. And there's more to be said on that.)
"Because I Like It" is not one of our reasons here, because we're keeping stuff we like. (I will say that so far, I've had only one or two pangs of not-even regret about stuff that is gone.)
And I'll also say, "Go, Lisa!"
