Day Two of Dialing in

Hi everyone! I’m continuing with my writing again in hopes a theme will spring forth… I think that what I wrote yesterday was in a way the result of some massive minimalism I completed, to the zone of diminishing returns anyway. It has freed up much space in my life, but also has left a painful void… saying goodbye to tons of sentimental stuff was probably the worst of it… journals and letters I hadn’t been interested in returning to in at least a decade, craft supplies I had no interest in using, etc… now all my personal items could be carried in two pannier bike bags, a book bag, and a shoebox. I do have a smallish box of books too, but those could be left behind if necessary, for others to use… there is now a profound emptiness in my life. I am trying to use evening ‘beer time’ to make minor improvements, to fill in some self-care stuff that I still have not figured out. Such as what to eat for breakfast. I should have food on hand instead of winging it everyday! I see so many videos that go viral, people talking about their life, and I wonder if all their followers make them feel less lonely, or if they make commission and are able to use that money to travel…I miss the rain so much!
