In my 20s, I booked a one-way ticket from Australia to Canada and sold almost all of my worldly possessions. I had a garage sale and offloaded the lot. When I got on that airplane, I felt lighter than I ever had before. There was a certain freedom in being free of material possessions that I’d never known and grew to love. For years, I traveled light through life, living out of a backpack and only buying what I really needed. Then I had kids, and all of that changed.
’ve reached the point where I’m over it. I love my children dearly and I want them to have some treats, but the amount of stuff they have acquired in their short little lives is beyond a joke. When I was little, I had one beloved teddy and a handful of fairy figurines. I adored all of them, and 38 years later, they are all still intact. Some of the worst culprits when it comes to buying junk for the kids are my parents.
