I've moved out of my apartment today. It's funny how much baggage one person can have. Imagine having five years worth. I moved out my stuff, my sister's stuff, and an assortment of JUNK from about 5 solid years of roommates living in this apartment. We had a TV that no one claimed as well as: a journal whose last entry was sometime in 2008 (with NO full names), 14 assorted pots and pans, a bag of frozen lima beans, a block of ice covered peas that actually had expired, an entire cabinet of plates, cups, and assorted tupperware. That was only in the kitchen, I had so much stuff around the apartment that I thought I wouldn't be finished before the cleaning checks happened.
This reminds me of the Atonement, Jesus Christ didn't just have to deal with the baggage of his own things (sinwise he packed incredibly light) he had the entire world's baggage of pain and suffering on top of his own suffering. I definitely do not envy his experience, but I am very grateful for it. Hopefully I have a light bit of baggage when I get to the MTC.
