George Carlin says that a house is "a pile of stuff with a cover on it"

4. I am trying to figure this out now.

My closet was so full of clothes that I can't or won't wear anymore, and it finally hit that last nerve. So I have started to systematically go through the closets, drawers, nooks, and crannies getting rid of things. Since I have so much crap that I never use and never even remember that I have, it is easy going so far.

So the easy things are all these things that have no use in my life. After this is done, I am not sure what would be easy. But it is the "what would be very hard" part that often makes no sense to me. I am not usually sentimental about possessions, but there are some things that I just cannot get rid of yet for no good reason. Most of these things are family photos or other keepsakes. Things like the horrid collection of tea cups that were my mother's, and her mother's before that. They are still prominently displayed in the cabinet that my father built for them, even though they are so not my style or suited to the rest of the decor.
