    I commend the lack of attachment. I have possessions in my life that are, in the Stoic sense, preferred indifferents. But I was glad when I could inhabit Thoreau’s wisdom:
    “It is desirable that a man live in all respects so compactly and preparedly that, if an enemy take the town, he can, like the old philosopher, walk out the gate empty-handed without anxiety.”.
    Holding things lightly and stepping lightly in the world is a real gift.
    With every good wish for what comes next for you, Peter.

    I am in process of getting rid of stuff that is not being used anymore. Still have about 15 items to sell, and that will be it. Now they are waiting for their day somewhere in wardrobes, out of my sight, and i feel relieved and lighted.
    I wish you a Merry Christmas, Peter, and a happy New year without clutter but with clear mind and space!:)

    Peter, best wishes as you move into this new part of your life. I’m so happy that you’ll continue producing videos for us to view and contemplate.

    What a great message, Peter. I would be lost if my landlord said I had to vacate, and you are turning this into a positive springboard to new adventures. Can’t wait to see what’s next in your journey. Thank you

      I think a lot of us would be lost, everyone I speak to who rents have said that it would be difficult to find somewhere now with availability and prices.

    I have been living with just and back pack and a carry on bag since September 2021. After immigrating to Mexico alone in my early 60’s. Traveled around the USA staying in rooms with friends, family and timeshares while collecting documents for moving to Panama. To get their retirement Visa with its generous benefits. Now trading services for a shared house on a small island in the PNW while supporting the Presidential candidate RFK Jr. After the election depending on whether he wins. Seeing if I stay or move on. Love this lifestyle. I don’t own any mode of transportation other than my feet and I like that way. Thanks for spreading this lifestyle. It help having been an only child and loving my own company and never getting bored.

    90 percent of rarely read books to the public library. Same for recordings rarely played. Certain electronic items given to appropriate clubs for use or resale to benefit those clubs. Clothing no longer worn but in decent shape to the SA. I could go on. Definitely liberating. All donated, not sold. If you are a senior, you should really consider thinning out your possessions.

    Seniors here in the UK are often selling their stuff to pay their electricity bills. I give directly to people I know because charity donations are diminished before they reach any potential recipient, and that includes the SA who are already in the property market. My books have been sorted and donated, but not the library because they cannot be trusted as custodians of our history. The items I most value will be sorted by a young local couple who earn a good living when houses are put on the market. Any residual monies will pay for our funerals. Wills all written, everything sorted.

    I take photographs and store them electronically. I put them in albums and, occasionally, go through them and add notes. But some i delete. Then i dont need the items to spark memories.

    As someone with too much stuff, there are too many things that I own because I couldn’t find the item I needed to find in my stuff in the first place. You can guess why I am watching this video!

    Feeling that way about starting a social media career. I know what you're talking about has been talked about by many people on youtube, but I think the more people talk about it, the better. Feeling like i'm too old (i'm 32) and having a lot of conflicting thoughts about what i want to do/talk about. On one hand, I love fashion and costuming. But I also know how detrimental they are to the enviroment. And I notice the fashion channels that generate the most views feature under 25 year olds. Plus, i feel like the idea i want to put forth (that you don't have to be wealthy to live a more sustainable life or be a white, middle class woman) are things that people either dontvwant to hear or are notvready for.

    Decluttering makes a lot of sense! Is the end result GEZELLIGHEID? Hmmmm ... Does your space now reflect your personality? Are you a beige and grey person? I would be nice if decluttering our lives was about GIVING TO THOSE who can use our possessions and clothing more than me.
