I'm working my way towards minimalism. My living room, dining room area is starting to look like I just moving in, where it's empty and it has an echoey sound to it. I love that. I had a yard sale this weekend where my kids were like, well, what'd you make, like, 100 books? And I was like, no, I made over $400. They're like, how? I said, by letting go

You, Brian. Thank you for inviting me to this. Well, I am so here for this. All of it. The minimalist, like, just the whole thing. So proud of you. I know that this weekend may not have been easy to let go of those things, but I'm sure that over the next week or so, you will feel so much lighter and you'll feel so much proud of yourself that you not so much proud of yourself. That's new. Makes sense

I think about any time that I've had to let something go, whether that was a dream or a person or many other categories. I think there's grieving along with it, a sadness and an anger from holding on to it for so long until finally getting to a point of I think forgiveness really helped me. Forgiveness not for the other person or whatever, I'm mad at the universe or whatnot. I think forgiveness for myself for allowing myself to get to that point. Just my two cent

Hey, Brian, this is great. And it sounded like you made some really, really important steps in letting go. I know it was probably tough deciding what you were going to sell for that yard sale. I know it may have been tough doing the transactions and watching people picking stuff up and looking at it and asking about it. And you may have even had some second thoughts about, man, do I really want to sell that? Maybe do want to keep that

And I just said, well, I said I said, a lot of this stuff is either my late brother's stuff or an ex girlfriend who was probably the most toxic relationship I've ever been in. But on the flip side, and I don't know many people will get this, but it was probably the most hella family relationships I've ever been in, too. But it was so toxic. It was fun, if that makes any sense

And I think that's sometimes the part that we all get attached to. Um, now, obviously, you've outgrown that and you're having a more healthy perspective on it. But I have been in those shoes before, so I just wanted to say, like, again, super high five on this. I think it's great. And I also love that you're doing, like, a tiny home on wheels. I think that sounds awesome

And I said the ex girlfriend's name. And she's like, really, dad? I was like, yeah, because I couldn't stop drinking the poison. She just shook her head and handed my phone back to me. But that's the way I felt. That to this day, I'd be terrified if this person came back into my life because the highs were so high, but the lows were so low

I I'm always the one that I delete them from my phone immediately. No, that's interesting. You're the second person who's used that as, like, a mechanism to heal. I kind of like it. It's, like, so definitive, so decisive. I like it
