Oops, I have Compulsive Hoarding Syndrome

Nope. This is not a photo of my place. But I must say it's almost 80% similar. Darn. I believe I have compulsive hoarding syndrome.

I know I have been collecting lotsa rubbish for a number of years. But I think it has exacerbated and gotten out of hand over the past 2-3 years. I believe now I know that psychological reasons behind the hoarding...

The clutter probably reflects my desire to hold on to things. Things that won't leave. Things that reflect a part of my life.

Not sure if I want to ask for help to help me declutter. Let me first try to do it myself, shall I? Hm, let's give myself a time frame. How about Round 1 during the coming weekend before I leave for Phuket? Then Round 2 during the weekend I come back from Phuket?

And let's stay focused. Round 1 shall deal with my clothes, make-up & beauty stuff, toiletries. For Round 2, I shall get rid of all old papers and work by students.

Okay. So everyone, come help me document my decluttering journey.

The last few years have been difficult, and my spirit is chaotic and cluttered as well. I begin to see the link between the tangible, visible clutter and the intangible, deeply felt clutter.

I believe that by working with the visible clutter, I will find some inner peace. My intention: to create a joyful, simple life free from messy entanglements...

Okies. I'd prob feel a lil embarrassed. But I shall start by taking a few photos on the Thursday Vesak holiday. Attempt 1st try at decluttering. Okay. There is no try. I WILL start on decluttering on Thursday. 2 hours' worth. *fingers crossed*
