RackQuest

Hello, everyone!

Having been here for roughly a week already, I have taken quite a liking to this place, and the whole nostalgia thing - it's been a fresh of breath air that I didn't even realise I'd been missing. In fact, I've been fancying some more of it.

CDs - my brother had a whole stack of them, it's mostly music, there's some rips and some games. I think it's mostly his with some of them might have been picked by my mum back in the turn of the millennium. And once he moved out, I got to keep the whole lot, and now in my current little apartment, they've been hanging around in a box, out of sight, out of mind.

Anyway, backstory done with, cue to this week, where I've had a rekindling for the old(ish) ways, and I wanted to start my own collection of CDs that I've personally acquired, and for that, I also want to start displaying them - for that I need a rack, or a shelf, tower... thing. My apartment is small, but I still have place for something like that. 

Well, I have it, but good grief I've acquired a lot of clutter over the years since getting this place. Boxes, random stuff, all kinds of nooks and crannies covered in dust as a result of waning mental health over the years.

But now I feel like I've gotten just the right kind of motivation to finally get this place back in order. At least for the most part. Remove boxes long since forgotten about, vacuum the spots blocked by said boxes. Use the momentum to do as much as I can where I'm at. Get the shelf and start enjoying a new collection.

I also grabbed a cheap-ish CD player that I forgot the name of the model of to put down next to my bed while I'm reading, as well as began my own collection with the Meteora 20th Anniversary set - both the CDs and the player are set to arrive in a week and a bit, very excited. Trading in convenience for the vibes, like a record player, but more... compact. Now vinyls I do NOT have room for xD

It ain't much, but it's a long line of baby steps on the way back to having both my place and my mental health in better shape. At this rate I might pull out my DSLR outta its bag again.

Gotta start somewhere, right? It's a long way, but what else have I got, if not time...

P.S. if my blogs appear like tangential rambling half of the time, it's because they kind of are - I start with a thought and then let it run away and end up chasing :P
