Sucked in by materialism

If it was up to me, I would live a minimalist's life. I'd like to eventually get there, but my room is packed full of stuff I've had since childhood. Every time I try to get rid of "stuff," it just keeps growing instead. Example, a huge pile of stuffed animals was just chilling in my closet so I threw them out and got in the middle. Now, it didn't go all the way around my head, but I tried! And I think the vast majority of these animals are going to find their way to Goodwill sometime this week!

It's quite embarrassing to see how many stuffed animals I still have. The pile went up to my chin when I was behind it!
