The art of letting go

I thought it would be hard to let go.

After reading a couple of articles in Elle’s Sep08 issue on credit crunch and ethical stance on eco-friendly shopping, I got a bit guilty about my hoard of mineral makeup just sitting prettily on my table. I’ve got this huge loot and I won’t be able to use all in this lifetime alone. They must be pretty disappointed as well since they are not fulfilling their purpose – of making some other kikay happy. So I packed away those that I am not using (and will not use ever again), brought them over to a friend who’ll bring them to Manila for my sister and friends (but not before saying a tearful goodbye, of course).

My MMU trays looked incomplete after that. It felt like a part of me was gone and I brooded a little. To fight the urge of buying MORE, I thought about how I’d rather not let them just go to waste. I thought about how little acts such as this, matters when it comes to saving environment. And I thought about how I'd like to do my part in making this a better world for my daughter to live in.

All that thinking made letting go an easier thing to do. :)
