Spring Cleaning

In my giddiness of cleaning things out, I probably got overzealous in tossing away clothing that no longer fits and is (happily) too large.  Springtime means new beginnings and holds a very cathartic feeling as you toss old things out that bind and tie you down.  Styles change. People change.  You cannot grow with so much stuff that you have to clean, sort and move just to function.  I feel like I cannot breathe when "things" start to pile up in my sanctuary.  

I currently own too many pens. Just not the one particular 'Holy Grail' pen I really, really want.   I could have gone my entire life not knowing this one particular pen exists and it makes it equally tough that my best friend taunts me with it.  I have a pen fetish. I admit it.  I must develop the discipline to not purchase another pen.  Ever.  
I own too much lip gloss too but that is not ever going to change.  


Having too many options makes it hard to make a decision. Much in the way people tend to collect "friends", how do you decide who gets your attention, your affection, your love?  

I joke about the difference between 'fans' and 'friends'.  Working in publicity, it is spelled out very bluntly for you.  When working with famous celebrities, you have to realize that even though they are nice people.....they are doing a job.  

Being a true friend isn't that hard.  It should be effortless... like the weight of a feather.  Otherwise, it is just a job.  It starts to feel like dead weight and you need to either be around them sparingly or clear them out altogether.
