Hi guys,
I hope you are doing well ion these unusual and challenging times?
I have been thinking about it for years literally and this week I finally did it: I have thrown away a substantial part of the boxes of the statues in my collection.
It was not an easy decision to take since I realize that by doing so transporting the statues if I ever decide to move, will be a major pain and something I have to consider carefully.
Furthermore it is also clear that the value of a statue without a box is substantially lower than the value of a statue with box meaning that the worth of my collection in money, is all of a sudden much lower.
It was also not easy to do since many of the boxes are little pieces or art which I really appreciated and valued.
Still I have done so and the strangest thing is that now that I have done so I do not feel regret but only relief and happiness caused by the space which has been freed and cleared at home.
I do not have a big house so the enormous number of boxes were not only eating up space but they also started to limit the amenity and liveability at home.
I love my statues but started to feel down by the fact that I saw boxes everywhere at home: under my bed, in my closets, in my shed.
Now that I have thrown them away, it feels like I am rediscovering my home again.
Before throwing the boxes away I thought about putting my boxes in a paid storage facility but the costs for hiring sufficient space for even just half of my boxes, would be considerable on an annual basis.
Perhaps I will regret throwing away the boxes in the future and perhaps i will decide to throw away even more boxes in the future (some of my boxes are stored on the attic of my parents' house)
For the moment I am however a happy camper and happy that I finally took the decision to do it.
What do you think?
Have you ever considered hrowing away your boxes as well or is this something you would never do?
Take care and stay safe!
Rainer
