One Day at the Garage Sale

Yard sale serves us a lot of benefits.  Bonding, earning, discovering life and getting rid of our own trash/mess,  to name a few.    Everyday has a different story.  So to say,  it's always a day full of fun.

During our garage sale,  I checked all my friend Joy's  items which I think I can wear  in the future.   I felt some kind of regrets selling and seeing   old  stuff  being given away.

I checked through all the clothes for sale  and took this one that shines,  out of the many items  on the rack.  I found it, literally, shinning shimmering gold.  My friend Joy was selling this  almost on  a steal price,  like yes, a giveaway.  For $2, you can have 3 to 5 items while some of them were rarely use.

So I got the gold sleeve blouse   and matched it with blue scarf.  Tadaaa!    I was supposed to wear this in  coming  event but since I already wore it  here like I am already at the event,  I am thinking to save it in next few months till I buried this post in my old archive.

And so I saved these two,  gold and blue..

The clothes that we are selling, but just  saved them  for a different purpose.

Battling middle life  crisis becomes easier when there is  someone beside  you that keeps reminding the valuable  purpose of   this emotion in  life.

The Joy of Letting Go

If  there is one thing I learned during yard sale, it is about learning to  let go of  things in life.  We really shouldn't invest  our emotions on material thing. I must admit, I had a hard time selling today  of  those old items but  it became easy for me thinking deeper not to  keep all these  in  my  life  while  somebody  else  might be needing  these on a different purpose. 

When I gave up my  used  bag, I wanted to hold it back but something inside my mind  reminded me how I look my life in a backward view should I keep  it again for nothing.  It doesn't make sense at all.  It is only a material thing.    And that,  I should  not center my happiness  to things that have no life and no purpose anymore.


What gives you comfort?    Let's not keep an attachment to material things as it only shows  how shallow we are finding comfort in  objects.    Let's live a simple life and be content of  what we have  and let go of things  that are no longer needed to make way  for  new things to come in our life.

What Goodbye Means

Probably, the saddest word to search in your dictionary is the word "goodbye."  From urban dictionary,  goodbye is the second worst word in human word-list.   Now for the first, I leave that for you to search.   I hate this word  goodbye and who loves it?  But sometimes we just need to get on through this for new hope because goodbye doesn't always mean letting go but  giving enough space for  new hope and unknown future.

I have a heavy intro to my post when all I want to  blog is my garage sale.  It smoothly rhymes anyway.   Yesterday, I sorted my old stuff  which are not really  needed  and only eat big spaces in my  box.  They're just there for years and served  no purpose at all.

And I hate letting go of this brand, CK.  There's always something there to remind me.  Yeah, that's part of a  song. This authentic red CK shirt which I got many years ago, probably around 13 years, was only  used for at least four times while the khaki short pants was already big and worn out.   Now, these ones are now ready for goodbye. 

Already sorted out old shirts, shoes  and pants and these are now packed neatly for a purpose. These are just only a  few in my items and just  keeping be burdened. 

The tiniest camera that I haven't used yet for review which  I think it would only be in a box for many years to come, waiting to accumulate  dust and rust. 

Yesterday, I felt so stressed while  I randomly picked  the old stuff, shoes, old scarf, shirts  and everything inside my drawer,  including  things  that have sentimental value but I rarely  use.  Now,  I have enough space for better ones.    I guess I  should live my life one day at a time from now on. 

I hope these items find a new owner that may be of good use and purpose to them as well.

Now, I'm off for a garage sale leaving enough air for my drawer. Goodbye.
