Let's get onto my favourite topic. Stuff. Why does it drive me mad? Why do I want so much less of it than most people? I'm constantly de-cluttering. Weeding stuff out. Yet it returns. In a different form. I'm not a minimalist but I'm constantly asking, can I do without it? Various theories. In a previous life, I was either a gypsy, constantly on the move, so, unable to own too much or I was a refugee and this is the bizarre bit. I deep down always feel that I am going to need to flee at a moments notice and therefore need to know where everything is and not have too much of it. Just short of always having one foot out the door. Possibly, I am sub-consciously striving towards leaving this life as I arrived, with no physical possessions and no, I haven't studied any Eastern philosophies. Yes, I am aware that now that I have written it, it sounds bloody weird but hey, it's who I am!
