Moving

There are certain things you realize when you are moving.

Firstly, you begin to question just how you manged to accumulate so much stuff. Secondly, your sentimental attachment to said 'stuff' diminishes by about the third box you pack. That then causes you to begin to wonder if the energy and space it would take to pack each object outweighs what it would cost to replace it once you got to wherever it is that you are going. Next, you have a gradual realization of what controls your life as you put off packing anything dealing with your computer. You need your connection to the outside world because a TV just doesn't do it anymore. And as the boxes pile up, you begin to wonder if the moving day will ever get here or if you will be packing for the rest of your life, yet when it does come, you are left trying to figure out how it came so quickly. I have moved 11 times now. With each time I have moved, I have found that I get to the various steps much quicker than I use to.
