Dismantling

[tinhuviel]

I have stuff in real life and online that I never interact with or touch. For the past few years, I've sporadically let go of things and people that I -for things - I have no longer interest in or - for people - with whom I have no contact. But, lately, I've been purging.

I've gotten rid of most of my "about" information on Facebook and unfriended about half of the folks there, most of whom have little to no presence online, so I doubt they'll even notice. I'm not purging anyone here, because I don't come here often and Dreamwidth isn't at interactive-friendly as Live Journal was.

I'm giving away my collectors' addition of The Lord of the Rings, because it belongs on a shelf and treated with love, not sitting in a box, untouched and unseen.

Today, I found someone willing to take my portable oak altar.

I've already sent some of the rare Shriekback collectibles to a fellow Shriek fan who deserves them more than I ever did.

Next on my agenda is finding someone who is keen on having a load of cool DVDs and CDs. I know they're on the verge of being obsolete but, for now, they're still viable and will hopefully make someone happy.

It feels really good to shed myself of all this extra baggage. I feel like Inanna, descending into the Underworld. Will I gain wisdom, once I've reached my destination? I don't know. I doubt anyone or anything knows. And I doubt I'll be able to tell anyone when the time comes.
