    Always there are more albums downloaded and waiting for me to listen to. I don't let this bother me, it actually excites me that my sea of metal never ends.

I'm sitting on a list of at least 450 albums, waiting for the next what.cd freeleech. That's fucking overwhelming, and it'll probably be twice that big by this time next year. It's depressing that I can't spend the time that each of these LPs deserves -- but extremely exciting as well. Music never ends.

Lol it's funny how having more stuff can cause so much unsatisfaction and depression. Don't expect to spend the time they each deserve, then you will not be depressed that you cannot.

Man, I recently booted my ex-gf from my house. She had soooo much shit--clothes, records, general junk. It used to drive me up the fucking wall. Now that she's gone, my place is empty and peaceful and clean as a whistle. I love it. To me, more stuff is a cause for great stress, and it gives me anxiety. Minimalism is way undervalued, IMO.

Yeah, and this is a bit extreme because I'm pretty young, but I can fit all of my belongings in/on my car. Which means I can live anywhere. Which is amazing.
