The one where selling off my life is emotionally draining

Fri, Jun 06 2008 by Vanessa.

So, we know we’re going through with this selling off our life thing. We’re excited. We’re thrilled. We’re counting down the days even though we don’t know when we’re actually going to get to press the gas pedal of our RV and pull out of town. But suddenly, I’m a little distraught. Posting things on craigslist that I know work perfectly well is an odd feeling. Giving everyone on craigslist a chance to buy my stuff … my stuff that works so well and I’d never sell otherwise … feels almost like I’m posting pictures of my lungs … pictures for all to see … pictures of things that anyone can say “Hey I want that! Let me make that a part of MY life.” Maybe this is what it feels like for young children just entering pre-school who are forced into learning how to share. It’s uncomfortable. It’s almost invasive. But I’m doing it willingly … what does that say about me?
