This is the first post in what I hope to be a satisfactory story line based on my road to simplifying life. For many years, maybe even decades, I have loved the simplicity of many lifestyles and craved to be a part of them, but there are strings (more like chains) holding me back.
Being on the work/spend treadmill, I have not been able to really put together an action plan for simplifying life. My debt is outrageous, and add to that now university loans that keep growing and growing. So instead of tackling my debt/income ratio right now, I am going to tackle the clutter. One of the largest contributors to the white noise is social media; I just can not seem to cut the tie. Instead I have cleaned it out, as if it were a closet.
Going into my FaceBook last night I found that I had 211 friends. So I though on that for a little while and what I realized was that half of these people don't actually consider me a friend, or I them. They were just the ghosts of friendships or loves past. Looking at it, I see that I really only have a handful of people I want to talk to or keep up with. My friend list shrunk more than half. That was phase one, wiping out the white noise.
