So I've started going through my things at my mom's house and I just realized how many boxes I actually have! Going through all these things is hard, it takes me back to the good memories I've had when I was younger.

So far I've gotten rid of 5 boxes of things. I'm trying to be strict with what I want to keep and what I want to throw away or donate. Right now, I'm going through about 5 bags of clothes I have. This is the worst! I know I have to keep my clothes down to a minimum, but some clothes are just cute that I keep telling myself I will wear someday..I've gotten rid of a bag of clothes that I know don't fit me or I will never wear again.

Who know starting over and getting rid of things could be so hard! There are some things my mom wants me to keep because she says that when I have children and they come to visit, they can have some of my old toys. She's kind of sentimental that way.

Most things will stay here in this house. I will only be taking clothes and things I need for school. I don't want to leave and have a bunch of my stuff filling up my mom's house though. She's been really helpful when I go through things. She helps me decide if something's worth keeping or just throwing away.

Hopefully I can keep this up and have most of my stuff cleaned out by the time I'm ready to leave!
