Wait List Ping
I wanted to try and clear the promised wait list, but instead of noting individuals and waiting for them to get back to me I will just mass ping everyone and you can reply here if you are still interested or not so I can keep you or remove you from the list. this way I know who is currently interested /available so I can get to you first and the list clears faster 
Note that if you got more than one quote /rebase/custom reply you have to choose which one you want the most.
I will be going through the rebases first, then I will get to the customs. So if you are in both, let me know which one you are going to pick so I can update the list.
I will automatically clear this list if I do not hear back from users in 2 months. For those who poked me on discord that I cant seem to find and I dont remember the dA names for, let me know if you are one of the people listed under so I can update or remove with your current deviantART REBASE QUOTES WAITING for a reply
REBASE QUOTES Still interested
CUSTOM QUOTES WAITING for a reply Amiookamiwolf Cassiopie
CUSTOM QUOTES Still interested
I think I got everyone, if not let me know
The road to having less stuff

This is an old post that was first added to ko-fi on september 12, 2018, I know stuff like this might not be interesting, but I would love to continue writing random things about progresses in my life. Especially this one since I have gotten really far both mentally and with my physical posessions. A cured Hoarder one might say.
So my entire childhood I was a hoarder of everything I got, bought and found. I don't know if it had something to do with being poor, and never able to buy anything expensive and usually getting my toys and things from others who no longer use it, but that might be it. I remember finding "treasure" along the roads, or in rivers, and it was so much fun to just keep it. All my things had stories and feelings behind them, so there was no way I could throw anything away! Everything was special to me, even rusty nails, broken furniture or just decorative trinkets. I always had the biggest rooms, because I had SO MANY THINGS. but among the chaos was extremely organized, I knew where everything was, and no one could move anything in my room without me noticing, As I got older, it got harder to know where everything was, but it made it exciting! It was like going on a treasure hunt in my own room. Every time I would do that I could sit down and remember the nostalgic feelings I had when remembering why I kept it. As someone who was heavily bullied as a kid for not following the sheep herd, I found comfort in my things. I moved out of my mom's house when I was 17, I went to school across the lake, so it took a long time to get ready, run down to the bus terminal, take the bus, and wait until school opened, just to have to do the same thing when I went home. And one day a classmate jokingly asked if anyone wanted to take over his flat. For fun, I said yes, went there fell in love with the apartment and signed the contract the same day! That is around 10 years ago sometime in October! That is nuts! Let me tell you, this flat is not very big. It has a tiny hallway, One room that has the living room, kitchen and sky bed-room. And a tiny bathroom. As someone who loves small spaces, I fell in love. BUT I HAD TO MANY THINGS. With everything I owned, I could fill this apartment 10 times. So I left 90% of my things in my mom's house! and she kept so much of it for so long. I remember throwing out and donating 14 big black plastic bags worth of stuff and clothing when I moved. But it didn't even dent my possessions. As someone who has extreme OCD tendencies, I got depressed not having all my things in one place. IT made me feel like the world was ending. No joke. I used to be pretty possessive, not just of my things, but of my ideas, my art, my friends x'D
So I decided, Fine I am going to have all my things no matter what it takes. So from 2008 until 2011, I got really good at organizing things to fit into a small space instead of throwing it away ahaha.. I gave away some here and some there, and it got really frustrating that I had to move and lift 50 boxes just to find that one thing I wanted to look at. x_x Got so annoying in fact that I just stopped looking at the things all together. Busy with school and also becoming a digital artist instead of a traditional one, I had sooooooooooooooooooooooooo many art supplies taking up all my spaces. Saved everything people gave me, the school gave me or samples I got from stores. I could probably run a school with all the supplies I had. I don't remember when, or why, but one day I just decided to give away all my DVD's and books for free at the school I went to. I left them in the hallway and made a sign saying free. Watching people walk up and ake things somehow felt better than owning it myself, because not only did I get fewer things, but others could enjoy them! >:0 I think it lit a fire inside me because little by little I was able to let go of more and more useless things. I had an entire folder with circle + some lines of cool poses I might want to finish in the future, they were 5 years old. I had probably 500 empty boxes and jars because I liked collecting them. I have no idea how I even fit all of it.
I also had so many things because I felt guilty even thinking about removing or giving them away even though I didn't like having it. I made others have a control over me that made me so uncomfortable I told people to stop buying me gifts. To this day I still don't like getting physical items that cannot be used and then tossed when its empty. Its one of the feelings I really really hate, and I think realizing that is also what made me break loose from keeping all these things. Being a hoarder sucks if you enjoy cleaning. Something that should take 10 minutes takes 7 hours.
I also got really into minerals and crystals around 2011-2016 to the point where ALL my money went into buying anything I didn't have. IT was almost scary at points. The most expensive item in my house is a tiny rock that fits in my hand. it costs more than 80% of all my belongings combined x_x , even so, I love it. Its one of my favorite things, not because it's expensive, but because its small. It takes no space at all. It's beautiful, and it reminds me of the Trip to the states to visit my best friend, and all the fun times we had. All those memories into this one tiny item, everything else from that trip, all the things I bought, they were a waste. And looking at my wall of rocks and gems, I only really like maybe around 30 of them. So why do I have more than I can even count?
Fast forward to 2015-2107 I found so much love and passion into making my ARPG, traveling became something I did a lot more than physical items I didn't use, started to lose its emotional hold, I no longer needed them, I no longer saw them as important, things started to become something that irritated me. That glass bird I bought 7 years ago? why do I have it, what does it mean to me now? Nothing, its just taking up space, how about that shirt I bought from dA? I have never used it, why do I have it. Things I used to be extremely happy about owning, were meaningless to me now. Maybe from having fewer things to be angry about, and fewer things that bothered me since I was a pretty happy person by this time, that things just got in the way, they became the distraction when I had nothing else.
From when I started and where I am today, I probably only have 5% left of what I took with me when I moved. I probably have 10% left of what I have accumulated over the 10 years living here. Seeing the apartment free up space is satisfying, seeing fewer things makes me feel good. I thought the more I had the happier I would be, but it turns out to be the complete opposite! the more I rid myself of the more calm, neutral and happy I feel. 2018 has by far been the happiest year of my entire life. I feel like everytime something happens, It never affects me in a negative way anymore.
During the first weekend of September, I joined my friend and her mom for a Magazine weekend at a resort. At this resort, there was a Trainer, who had gone through the exact same thing as me, and his talk was about The most important things in life is not things. It resonated with me, and I think I'm even able to at this point take that last final step of really knowing the few things that mean something, and things I keep for no reason. I am excited to do a final major haul this fall, Make that "temporary box" where you put things you think you don't want or need, and if you don't look at it for a month, then it is good to go! I have many free boxes now that I almost own nothing!
It also feels great donating new clothing I never used to the donation boxes, gave away 98% of my art supplies to my Aussie princess, added many great things to our online flea market for free for people to pick up! feels great when you brighten others day with something they can enjoy that collects dust and frustration with you! >u</
I could probably write a book about all the things I collected in my 28 years of life. No idea why it took me this long to let it go and only save what has value without baggage attached!
Less is definitely more! x'D Random story of my life
Bullet journal setup March 2020

im mostly reuploading this to test if story time with pictures is a thing that looks good in journals this is old and I am now doing bujo-ing all digitally in spreadsheets
First added to Ko-fi Feb 29, 2020
Got a really nice card in the mail, so I decided to use it as my March inspiration. I also decided to doodle on some birds. March is spelled in Norwegian while I often flip between Norwegian and English spelling when using my Bujo.
I have been doing bullet journaling now since mid-2018, I feel like I have found all the spreads that help me with what I need every month, so I decided to share them while they are still blank :D
I track my sleep and I also track what I spend money on and when I spend it. This helps me to keep control over my spending and be aware of what I buy. I do buy a lot of snacks OTL ...
I also track how much Caffeine I get into my body, food, and random habits. Most of them are probably not needed to track, it is just a lot of fun since I really enjoy doing it.
I have used a lot of different daily spreads, and 1 line a day just gets really messy, and since ive split daily things into their own pages, I am trying 2 lines a day to see if it is a bit more fun and less cluttered. Here I write down what I do if I have specific dates I need to remember, shows I have watched or other things. I also have a specific doodle& stuff page after this that is just for misc. For the decoration I used three watercolor pencils, add water to them and they look like they were painted on, really easy way to get some lively borders for pages. They are also inspired by the card on the cover page :D
This is also the first Bujo that I have that has actual bullets, and they are light enough that they do not bother me at all! I got this Archer and olive journal for free after they messed up my order, so I highly recommend them. Besides, it does not GHOST which is amazing when using black pens.
