I'm embarking on a big change. I'm tallying up all of my LPs and CDs, going through them to pull out the ones that I absolutely can't part with and the ones that are too scratched to sell, and putting the rest up for sale.

For too long, they've been accumulating in my closet taking up space. Too much of my money has gone into purchasing CDs that I haven't listened to more than twice in 10 years. There will be more music in the future.

And I'm really short of money.

In combination, it really seemed like the thing I needed to do. Now we'll see if anyone actually wants to buy what I have to sell.

It hurts, but it's a good hurt, lessening one's attachment to material possessions.
