i'm having an existential crisis.
we are getting a new housemate which means that i am losing my art room, where supplies were stored and used. i was also able to display my art pieces and pieces from other people i have collected over the years. the owner of the house is a minimalist and my art does not fit that description. neither do the things i have collected. i live in one small room that is taken up mostly by my bed and the rest by book cases. i cant keep these treasured items in my room.
so here's the thing. these things make me smile or accomplished (when its a piece ive done) when i see them. but they will be put away where i cannot see them, indefinatly. so if i cant see these things that make me smile, in essence they don't exist in my world. they're just things in boxes moldering in the basement. so is there a reason to keep them? they are only things but many of them were created by my own hand. would i regret it later? ive given away so much that i have done, and only regretted some of it, more because of where it went to than that its gone. if i keep them am i owned by them? am i putting way too much thought into this?

Things will change at some point and then you can set up an exhibition for yourself when you have room!
