Throughout this writing project I have mentioned how I am trying to simplify my life. It has me baffled at how much work it has been to wrap up projects, finalize e-mails, finish projects just to clear my plate. I am overwhelmed in a world where I am already overwhelmed. I don't know where I can find the energy anymore to push forward. The desire to have simplicity lingers and I find the strength.
It has been quite a chore going through my things. This is a task which has been undone for quite sometime and put off because I haven't had the space, the room, the environment or the energy to deal with it. I don't have a lot of space right now, and while I am not sure how long I will remain in my current location, I want to take advantage of it. I have a place where I can unload things, sort things, pile things up, feel overwhelmed, cry, sleep, shower, repeat.
It is a long haul and if you have or want to find a way to simplify your life, I won't tell you it is easy. This has been a lot of work and my only hope is that there will be simplicity at the end of the road. A quieter, calm, peaceful, cleared out: mentally and physically lifestyle. If you are on this same path or desire that particular path, be ready to put in some effort. Don't give up because it is hard or overwhelming. When I get overwhelmed I do nothing because I don't know what to do. I am definitely feeling overwhelmed and while giving up and stopping sounds great, it won't progress this project at all. Then what, remain in this place where I am not content? Not so much, I need to know if this hard work and stress will pay off. Time will tell, but at least in the end I should be organized and free of some clutter which has piled up.
