I go through phases where everything in my life feels cluttered. I look around and I have TOO. MANY. THINGS.
Books.
I'm thinning them out.
I love my books.
But I had a good talk with myself several times over the past month. I said, "Self? Why are you holding onto those books?"
I had answers, lots of them.
I have so many books on my "To Read" list (yes, I have an actual list in a small notebook that I carry around, adding too and crossing off as life goes on).
I was a little sad pulling them from the shelf. What if I regret letting them go? In those pages are people and places and events that I know and have been and was part of. But the reality is that I'll never go back to those same pages.
I have too many new pages to explore.
half priced books?
ReplyDeletesometimes i think i want to keep my books because they are a reminder that i don't spend every minute of my life on the internet. ha. seriously, as a reminder of something i've done and the emotions that i have when i am relating to those characters. books is real nice.
