Things

How our possessions end up owning us

How is it that we get lost in our things?

Consumed.

All of these possessions were once going to make me happy. Looking around this crowded house I should be the happiest person in the world.

That is not the case though. These things never did make me happy. Well, maybe for a few weeks or even months

Now it is all just junk. Junk that is taking up room. Junk that I should sell.

I need to do something drastic.

Maybe losing all these things, that were supposed to make me happy will make me

Happy?
