about that minimalism thing: part 7

It strikes again.

I'm starting to digitize things. I finally finished typing a story that took up almost ten handwritten pages and published it on deviantArt as a story that the world can now read. It's a small thing -- almost insignificant -- but it is worth mentioning because it was a goal that I set and it is accomplished now. I was trying to combine that with an effort to keep my plate clean, but that didn't go too well -- I just have too much going on, I guess. I have IMs popping up, phones ringing, and people walking into and out of my house.

It makes me think about a lot of things. It may be time for my minimalism to expand a bit. I mean, I think I got the possession thing down and I'm reclaiming space moment by moment and loving everything about it, but I still have social media and blogs and other social stuff to think about.

• I have so many things going on -- Twitter, Facebook, Livejournal (no, I haven't deleted it yet), this blog and two other blogs on varying subjects. It's so much to do and write for and think about and I have all of these things because I want to have them.
• I have friends and family and then I have "friends" and "family". I need to make a distinction between the fans I have and the friends I have. I have some people that I love and that love me. I am sure of that. I am also sure that those people are not every single person that has added me on facebook or twitter. I need to review some things. I'd rather have info and input from people I love and care about than from NASA. I have Twitter for that kind of info (and it comes from epic people), but I don't need that on Facebook. On Facebook, I need connection more.
• I need to evaluate things a bit more and stick to those criteria. Maybe things or people need to be control-alt-deleted for real.

So with that, I continue to dig, to deepen, to ponder.

In other news, I continue to live by the "Hell Yeah!" rule. Actually, because of that, I've dropped a few more clothes. I try to see the things I do and filter them through that "Hell Yeah!" rule and I'm noticing that there are probably quite a few things I am probably going to end up dropping because of that rule. I'm fine with that... Actually, I'm excited about that. :D

There's so much to think about and ponder, but that's where I am on my journey.
