I have accepted my maximalism. I don’t apologize for it. I’ve often gloried in it as I hung a whole wall of frame-to-frame pictures or sorted my hundreds (thousands?) of buttons into color categories and put them in jars or opened my drawer to choose from my many different colored and patterned shirts.
But, what happens when a maximalist decides (for many reasons that we will go into later) to “go tiny”? Will I inevitably become a minimalist? How hard will it be to get rid of some of my stuff, and how much of it will have to go? Will it be donated? Will it earn money? How will my family cope?
I’m going to be living the answers to these questions over the next 6 months. It’s gonna get ugly. It’s going to be a lot of hard work. I’m already completely overwhelmed. But, man, I’m pretty darn excited.
