Stuff: Remediation Realization

Last time on A Collector's TaleWe learned I was selling all my stuff (you can still buy some here: http://www.amazon.com/shops/atheriusgames). Some friends had found out, and started to think I was a 34-year-old version of The 40-Year-Old Virgin.

So, there I was, called out. The incarnate of  some real-life version of a Judd Apatow movie. I certainly wasn't looking forward to the waxing scene. Put simply, the facts were hard to dismiss:
  • I was a collector of things, many of which were toy relatedcheck.
  • I kept them all in original, pristine packaging… sure, but doesn't everyone… check.
  • I recently met an incredible woman, that was helping influence and change my life for the positiveabsolutely, unequivocally, check. 
  • who was also helping to ensure everything was packaged and shipped with precise caution and care… this isn't helping my case… [sigh] check.
  • I wanted to get laid… this one isn't fair…check.
Now, wait a minute.

Stuff: A Collector's Tale

Stuff. I have a lot of it, or at least I did. I still do really, even after selling quite a bit. 

Despite the precarious mountain that still exists, I've steadily worked to detach myself from "stuff" over the last few weeks - working with a goal to replace "stuff" with experiences.
