Digital collage.

William Stephen Coleman (1829 - 1904) ~ Hooked [link]

There are, they say, two kinds of people: Suitcase People and Furniture People.

Suitcase people are mobile, flexible, and they move easily and often.
Suitcase people can easily journey on and out and away from previous versions of themselves and can step away from old relationships or stale careers.
They can pack what they need for their lives into a small portable space, and travel forward without looking back.

Furniture people, on the other hand, like to settle; and they tend to acquire and get attached to lots of "stuff" ~ paraphenalia and sentimental memorabilia.
Furniture people probably have friends who date back to their schooldays, and they are long-term loyal employees.
They find it hard to let go of things (people, places, objects, relationships) and to leap into the unknown.

Suitcase people think furniture people are boring, unadventurous and bogged down in clutter.
Furniture people think that suitcase people are flibbertigibbets, insubstantial, and recklessly irresponsible.

We all have a bit of both in us, really. But right now I'm discovering my inner suitcase person and have just been through a glorious orgy of de-cluttering and shedding "stuff", including a job I've had for thirteen years. At the end of this month I hit the road and drive away - down to Cape Town with only two suitcases and one box of belongings in my car.


So ... what kind are you?

Awesome adventures await you, I'm sure of it. After all you are a restless experimenter. Sounds like a good thing that you've shed your job. Yo have always seemed to be becoming a new version of yourself, so I think you will have marvelous daring and exciting enterprises.. Best of luck and here's hoping we continue to see more of your brilliant work!

First of all, gorgeously dreamy!

Second, I am in the middle I think. The first half of my life was crazy and chaotic. The second (current) half is way more settled and structured. And quite frankly I do not have the energy for the chaos of my earlier years. While I do have a lot of stuff in my home (we collect art and books and unusual things) I am not a terribly sentimental person. Probably stems from the craziness of my younger years. I was actually homeless for a short period (my parents threw me out of the house at age 16.) I know what it's like to have nothing and I know what it's like to have all of my needs met and then some.

Looks unaltered.

I switched. The suitcase was nice for a bit.

Yup. I have a feeling I might start "nesting" all over again ...

Wow! Congrats on accessing your suitcase person and being able to leave your job! All best wishes on the move to Cape Town.

I have been both at different times - in kind of a furniture phase right now.
