If it's not sales season or trying to find some crazy good deal on second hand selling apps, I wouldn't shop for unnecessary stuff at all. I can sit for months on a decision to buy something and then forget about it, if it's full price. But if I see someone selling it for super cheap, it's instant "omg, this is my chance, it's now or never!"

The weird thing I knew this about myself for the longest time, but I was still convinced that it's actually fine to shop like that. I'm paying much less for stuff. That's good, right? And if I only pay a fraction for this item, then I could get another item (if I come across a good deal, of course). And another. I was even doing some rough girl math in my head. 70% off means it's ok to buy 3 dressed instead of 1.

Ugh.

Mine thinks she loves having "variety", like she wants denim shorts in various washes, also some rigid denim, some stretchy, a few different lengths would be good too. You know, for different purposes.

In reality I need one pair for summer. Light blue. With stretch, because I hate restrictive clothing. And not too short, because I don't want my thighs to rub together. Easy.

Every time I'm looking for something I need, it's like this daydreaming sequence kick in when suddenly I'm this person who's excited to have all those options in her closet. But the reality check is I'd wear it once and immediately get reminded why I had preferences in the first place and how they all could have been accomplished by one single item.

>!Did anyone else also try to save Arthur with herbal concoctions and sleep? I spent hours looking for herbs because I thought he just needed the right kind of potion to get well. And if I make right choices in the game, he'll be alright.!<

I had so many excuses why not. I'd regret it. It's not worth selling, it won't make much money. No one is going to buy it. It's a lot for work packing and shipping.

I literally don't care about any of that anymore. I just want stuff out of my closet. I'll be making offers and discounting, until it sells. Whatever doesn't sell at all by the end of summer - off it goes to charity.

Feels so stupid when I think of why I was buying it in the first place. A lot of it was fomo. Mostly good deals fomo, but also worrying that I won't be able to find something quite like that in the future. Well, half of it doesn't even fit anymore. The other half I no longer like.

And then there's "collectables". Dolls and Lego sets. They'll have to go as well. I'll get started with clothes though, those are easier.

I buy things (clothes, hobby stuff) when I like something or when I need something, but it just gets added up. I've decluttered multiple times over the years, but it just all piles on again.

My interests comes and go and my clothing size changes every now and then. Everything's is the constant state of flow and it feels like I can't swim against the current.

The only clear indication seems to be when I can no longer cram stuff into closets. I have trouble even picturing it in my head, what would be reasonable amount of stuff to have. I don't know how people do it.

I got to the part with the blue guys and the girl shooting arrows and I just cannot. I tried to pass it like 30 times already and I die and die and die every time. I looked up tips. It helped a bit, but I still feel way too vulnerable and weak against the enemies. The one time I managed to kill all the red guys and it looked promising, but then a guard spanned right where I was and I was dead just like that. I don't know how not to feel frustrated and defeated. It's like I'm missing a right gaming gene necessary to enjoy combat in this game. Sucks, because I like the gameplay otherwise.
