1 00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:09,040 Okay, so since I made, like, a sort of introduction to my changing my life/decluttering, I want 2 00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:15,299 to make a video talking about specifically the little things that I want to do at this 3 00:00:15,299 --> 00:00:18,599 second to, uh, get started on that. 4 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:26,600 The first video, all I really did was mostly talk about how I have an issue with hoarding 5 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:32,099 a lot of stuff, and if I don’t feel like I’m hoarding enough, I go out and get something 6 00:00:32,099 --> 00:00:35,059 to add to my hoarding collection. 7 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,260 It’s not healthy and it needs to be stopped. 8 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:47,780 So, not only do I have to learn how to control that, I need to declutter and… 9 00:00:48,020 --> 00:00:54,240 In order to live light, I need to get light and that means I need to get rid of stuff 10 00:00:54,250 --> 00:00:59,239 that I don’t want, that I don’t use. Stuff I haven’t looked at in literally years. 11 00:00:59,239 --> 00:01:04,860 The one thing that I definitely need to do is get rid of everything that I know for a 12 00:01:04,860 --> 00:01:11,750 fact I have not seen or looked at for literally one second in like five or something years. 13 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:18,080 In my closet, I have, like, bags of little knickknacks, pieces of paper that I know I 14 00:01:18,090 --> 00:01:20,390 have not looked at for five years. 15 00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:24,979 Not since we got evicted from our house and had to move to an apartment, not since I’ve 16 00:01:24,979 --> 00:01:26,759 been in this apartment. 17 00:01:26,980 --> 00:01:31,900 It was just stuff that I took out of my closet, put it in a bag, and then shoved it in my 18 00:01:31,909 --> 00:01:37,909 closet because there was nowhere else to put it and I haven’t looked at it in two years 19 00:01:37,909 --> 00:01:39,069 that I’ve been here. 20 00:01:39,220 --> 00:01:44,940 I know for a fact that even if I want to keep it for “sentimental reasons”, I don’t 21 00:01:44,940 --> 00:01:45,860 need it. 22 00:01:46,020 --> 00:01:53,140 It probably would’ve been a lot easier to just leave it at the house and let the bank 23 00:01:53,140 --> 00:01:54,440 clean it up, but oh well. 24 00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:00,020 So that is one of the major things that I have to work on. I can imagine there is - I 25 00:02:00,020 --> 00:02:04,960 know there’s one thing or one or two things that I know I would like to just have, but 26 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,000 there’s a lot more junk that I know for a fact that I don’t need to keep. 27 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,220 There is a dumpster right over there so all I have to do is take the bag that I have that 28 00:02:15,230 --> 00:02:16,810 it’s already in and just dump it. 29 00:02:16,940 --> 00:02:20,860 I know part of me was thinking, “Well, just go through it and if there’s nothing that 30 00:02:20,860 --> 00:02:23,240 you know you don’t need or whatever - 31 00:02:23,420 --> 00:02:28,100 “Just toss it!” But I - Coco from Light By Coco said - 32 00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:32,480 You just want to stuff everything into a box and if you don’t look at that box, you just 33 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:38,560 pick it up and give it away or throw it out. Don’t look at it because then all the little 34 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,640 feelings that you had will come back. 35 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,340 Not only do I have little knickknacks and stuff, I have boxes and envelopes. 36 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,860 Now, I had a good reason for this. 37 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:58,640 When I do swapping or when I sell stuff, I often like to repackage envelopes. 38 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,460 In the swapping community, it is a very common thing to repackage envelopes because it helps 39 00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:06,250 us save on shipping and whatever. 40 00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:12,540 But I have a lot of, like, actual boxes and I don’t use boxes all that often because 41 00:03:12,550 --> 00:03:13,570 it gets more expensive to ship. 42 00:03:13,940 --> 00:03:20,840 I normally sell smaller stuff now and I just use regular envelopes so there’s a lot of 43 00:03:20,849 --> 00:03:25,680 boxes that I just wanted to keep in case I was selling something or multiple things that 44 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:26,440 would fit in there. 45 00:03:26,580 --> 00:03:30,920 Some of these boxes I’ve had for over a year and I haven’t sold anything that would 46 00:03:30,930 --> 00:03:35,510 ship in those boxes so… yeah. 47 00:03:35,740 --> 00:03:40,120 I should probably get rid of majority of the boxes that I own. 48 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:51,680 Makeup. Uhm, I’m still doing my blog sale. I’m still doing Poshmark so the makeup that 49 00:03:51,690 --> 00:03:58,080 I don’t want that I can sell, I put on Poshmark or my blog sale so if anybody wants to go 50 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,960 look at my blog sale, please look at that so I can get a little money out of that. 51 00:04:07,220 --> 00:04:13,880 Clothes. I have what seems to be the hardest time with parting with clothes. Makeup and 52 00:04:13,890 --> 00:04:16,130 clothes, I have issues parting with. 53 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:22,720 But I know that there’s a lot of clothes that I just don’t wear, that I don’t particularly 54 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,590 like anymore. 55 00:04:23,590 --> 00:04:27,740 There’s a lot of stuff on Poshmark that are clothes that I’ve been trying to sell 56 00:04:27,740 --> 00:04:34,150 but nobody’s been buying it and I think instead of just trying to keep on selling 57 00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:39,719 that for days and weeks and sharing in parties and having nobody buy it, I’m either gonna 58 00:04:39,719 --> 00:04:40,519 - well - 59 00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:44,960 I’m gonna go through my closet and my drawers again, take what’s on Poshmark, take 60 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,940 what I haven't thought about selling yet, and then put it in a laundry basket to take it to Plato’s 61 00:04:49,940 --> 00:04:54,680 Closet and then see if they’ll want anything and whatever they don’t take, I will probably 62 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,560 just donate the rest to Goodwill or something. 63 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,120 There’s a lot of clothes I don’t wear anymore whether it’s just that I don’t 64 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,960 like them or I just wear other things more often. 65 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,740 And when I decluttered a couple times in the past, I thought, “Oh, I’ll wear that again 66 00:05:10,740 --> 00:05:13,460 sometime in the future” and I don’t. 67 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,720 I mean, most of this has to do with the fact that I rarely leave my apartment. 68 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,620 So the clothes don’t get a chance to be worn. The only time I change clothes is for 69 00:05:22,630 --> 00:05:29,080 videos so I just don’t need a lot of clothes. I don’t need as much as I seem to think 70 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:29,720 that I do. 71 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,640 I have a lot of books and I love reading, I love having different books. 72 00:05:38,860 --> 00:05:43,040 But I have a lot of books from childhood that I - again, I have not looked at in years. 73 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:48,040 The books that I have, they’ve been in the same moving boxes from almost two years ago. 74 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,980 I have not looked through them. 75 00:05:50,039 --> 00:05:54,199 I have tried to sell a few on the Internet but they don’t seem to go. 76 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,900 So there’s a bookstore here but, uh, they’re very, very picky about what they buy so I 77 00:05:59,910 --> 00:06:01,889 might just take my books and donate them. 78 00:06:01,889 --> 00:06:08,009 When I move out and get my own space, I don’t want to take a lot with me. I can’t afford 79 00:06:08,009 --> 00:06:14,600 or I will not have the room to take everything with me so it’s just best to not have a 80 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:15,100 lot of books. 81 00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:16,880 I have so, so many. 82 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:24,200 And I have an electronic reading device. I have the Kindle app and that means that I 83 00:06:24,210 --> 00:06:30,100 can just get my books as eBooks and it’s all in a very small electronic reading device 84 00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:36,550 and it’s just - it’s all there and it’s so much easier to carry it around than big, 85 00:06:36,550 --> 00:06:37,890 big stacks of books. 86 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:48,100 So what I need to do is get rid of all the knickknacks that I don’t use. 87 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,280 And now that I think about it, there’s also a lot of jewelry that I just don’t wear 88 00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:53,039 at all. 89 00:06:53,039 --> 00:06:54,739 So I don’t need all my jewelry. 90 00:06:54,740 --> 00:06:59,320 So I gotta get rid of my little knickknacks and stuff that’s literally junk. 91 00:06:59,539 --> 00:07:04,819 I need to sort through my makeup again. I still have a lot of lipsticks and I know I’m 92 00:07:04,819 --> 00:07:11,340 not gonna get through all of them so I’m gonna try my best to declutter that some more. 93 00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:13,460 But I’ve already decluttered a lot. 94 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,800 Clothes, I could afford to go through those again and my books, I think I’m going to 95 00:07:18,810 --> 00:07:26,030 try to sell the more popular ones. I have two manga series and a couple more manga volumes 96 00:07:26,030 --> 00:07:32,270 that I’m gonna try to sell and the rest like the childhood ones that just aren’t 97 00:07:32,270 --> 00:07:34,790 really popular, I’m going to probably donate. 98 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,880 And then when all of that is out of the way, I am going to try to concentrate as much as 99 00:07:39,889 --> 00:07:44,809 I can on making sure I don’t continue to get a lot of stuff. 100 00:07:45,260 --> 00:07:51,100 So we’ll see how everything goes in a future update and I will see you later. Bye.
