Thank you for Tuesday Trash Talk Jackie! I love reusing, fixing my broken stuff, finding good quality natural fibre clothing at the oppy and I have to make sure that the recycling bins are in proper order. My Mum took me to Mrs Broom’s opportunity shop from when I was a little kid; op shops are my favourite shops. I very rarely buy new (except for shoes, underwear, digital storage devices, luggage and travel bags and handbags). I struggle to part with “stuff”. No recycling out of my house ever gets mixed-up or thrown away to landfill. Sometimes I feel as if I am a bit full-on weird about it, but nah x
I think its a mindful, respectful way you're living. I have a big for-the-oppy bag in the spare room. I try to put one thing in there a day. A while back I read about a woman who does this thing - maybe once a year - where for a month she puts one thing in her for-the-oppy bag on the first day, two on the second, three on the third, and so on. A routine. A process. For me, when I let go of 'stuff' it feels like I'm letting go a part of who I was, or I thought who I was. You go girl. Stay full-on weird! x
