WEBVTT 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 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 00:00:15.299 --> 00:00:18.599 second to, uh, get started on that. 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 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 00:00:32.099 --> 00:00:35.059 to add to my hoarding collection. 00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:38.260 It’s not healthy and it needs to be stopped. 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… 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 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. 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 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. 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 00:01:18.090 --> 00:01:20.390 have not looked at for five years. 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 00:01:24.979 --> 00:01:26.759 been in this apartment. 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 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 00:01:37.909 --> 00:01:39.069 that I’ve been here. 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 00:01:44.940 --> 00:01:45.860 need it. 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 00:01:53.140 --> 00:01:54.440 clean it up, but oh well. 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 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 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. 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 00:02:15.230 --> 00:02:16.810 it’s already in and just dump it. 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 00:02:20.860 --> 00:02:23.240 you know you don’t need or whatever - 00:02:23.420 --> 00:02:28.100 “Just toss it!” But I - Coco from Light By Coco said - 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 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 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:40.640 feelings that you had will come back. 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:49.340 Not only do I have little knickknacks and stuff, I have boxes and envelopes. 00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:51.860 Now, I had a good reason for this. 00:02:52.160 --> 00:02:58.640 When I do swapping or when I sell stuff, I often like to repackage envelopes. 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:04.460 In the swapping community, it is a very common thing to repackage envelopes because it helps 00:03:04.470 --> 00:03:06.250 us save on shipping and whatever. 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 00:03:12.550 --> 00:03:13.570 it gets more expensive to ship. 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 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 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:26.440 would fit in there. 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 00:03:30.930 --> 00:03:35.510 ship in those boxes so… yeah. 00:03:35.740 --> 00:03:40.120 I should probably get rid of majority of the boxes that I own. 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 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 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. 00:04:07.220 --> 00:04:13.880 Clothes. I have what seems to be the hardest time with parting with clothes. Makeup and 00:04:13.890 --> 00:04:16.130 clothes, I have issues parting with. 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 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:23.590 like anymore. 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 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 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 00:04:39.719 --> 00:04:40.519 - well - 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 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 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 00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.560 just donate the rest to Goodwill or something. 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 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.960 like them or I just wear other things more often. 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 00:05:10.740 --> 00:05:13.460 sometime in the future” and I don’t. 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. 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 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 00:05:29.080 --> 00:05:29.720 that I do. 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:38.640 I have a lot of books and I love reading, I love having different books. 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. 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. 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:49.980 I have not looked through them. 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. 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 00:05:59.910 --> 00:06:01.889 might just take my books and donate them. 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 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 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:15.100 lot of books. 00:06:15.100 --> 00:06:16.880 I have so, so many. 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 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 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, 00:06:36.550 --> 00:06:37.890 big stacks of books. 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. 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 00:06:52.280 --> 00:06:53.039 at all. 00:06:53.039 --> 00:06:54.739 So I don’t need all my jewelry. 00:06:54.740 --> 00:06:59.320 So I gotta get rid of my little knickknacks and stuff that’s literally junk. 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 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. 00:07:11.700 --> 00:07:13.460 But I’ve already decluttered a lot. 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 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 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 00:07:32.270 --> 00:07:34.790 really popular, I’m going to probably donate. 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 00:07:39.889 --> 00:07:44.809 I can on making sure I don’t continue to get a lot of stuff. 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.
