I like to think of myself as a Minimalist, but I know I still have way too many things to really be considered a card-carrying member.

Ex: This pile of backpacks, bags, and sacks that I pretty much never use. There has to be at least 30 of them in there. I store them stuffed into that rainbow-striped bag (that I bought in a Chinese market 20+ years ago to ship some stuff back here to the States). Bags-within-Bags. Owning all of them drives me crazy. But every time I go through them to get rid of some, I come up with a story to justify keeping each.

Ex #2: I took this pic to shame myself into getting rid of some of them. But after I went through the pile again, I got rid of…one bag 😔 No card for me.
