We just need to throw out the stuff we don't want/need/use anymore, and start paying some attention to the outside of the house. If we arranged our rooms the way we actually want to use them, we'd have all the breathing room we could ask for. So your no-truck move is inspiring.

About a year ago I started to feel like my possessions were really weighing me down; honestly it was a lot more than that, but I suppose it was a physical symbol of what my spirit felt. Then I moved to Boston and was forced to bring only what I felt was important to me, and soon I'll be moving again, hoping the accumulation a year brings doesn't exceed the capacity of my car.
