Discardia

The concept of Discardia is very appealing to me. I remember in my younger days when I moved from one apartment to another, about 6 or 7 a year, that my pile of possessions became smaller each time. Finally I moved abroad and the pile disappeared altogether. I felt a great relief and a few of my friends could enjoy my books and records (yeah it was the LP era). Of course this feeling didn't have a name back then.

Nowadays when concepts don't exist if they're not branded, the concept is known as Discardia. Metagrrrl.com is a nice place to talk about this phenomena.

I must admit though, that I apply Discardia in a different way nowadays as well. I still don't like having a lot of stuff in my way, but I do enjoy great empty spaces. That could of course be considered a kind of possession...and hey, Kjell, I want my LPs back.

See that smile? I could be you.
