WARNING: THINKY POST!
I have just had an sudden urge to write. My mood for the last fortnight has been surprisingly positive, not that I'm a majorly negative person, but definitely not rainbows and sunshine all the time.
I feel as though I'm slowly breaking away from the constant need and want of material possessions. I know that they just clutter my life and make things harder ie. Tidying my wardrobe
I hope this mood lasts but I'm worried it may just be hormonal due to a certain "friend" making an appearance soon!
But I am happy to hang around home on my days off now, not NEED to go to the plaza (mall) and spend money. It's funny, looking back it seems the times I spend more money are times when I'm not content in where I am in life...it's almost like a quick fix, something to fill in the time.
I think it all may have something to do with my uncle passing away about 2 weeks ago, he was only 54. I think it was a wake up call for me, I know I'm only 26 but I feel as though I worry/stress too much about small things or material things. In a way it's inspired me to want to go back to basics. Grow my own fruit and veg, get some chickens for our backyard, cook my own food more etc. In the words of the recycling centre guy in The Simpsons.
"Simplify man!"

PS: I grew up on a hobby farm and chickens are quite possibly the stupid-ist animals granted a visa to our planet. But home grown veggies are the very best!
But yeah if our lawn wasn't such a weed and grow over any attempt of a veggie patch within a week, I'd be more inspired to keep maintaining one.
