All MY Life FOr SaLe

When I started reading this passage, I thought it was sort of weird how Freyer never threw away anything. It was very questionable as to why someone would keep anything that was broken, or of no value in their home. I personally have never been a packrat, and found it useless to keep things that are not needed in my home. The more I read his story, I thought about some of the things that I thrown away and the stories behind those items. Freyer's story made me appreciate the things that I have, and made me womder where are some of the things I had thrown away years ago. It would be interesting to know where they ended up. I totally understand why he wanted to sell those items via "dot-com". That was a brilliant idea of him, but he took it to the extreme when he traveled to the new owners of his things. This I deemed as useless because I felt that the money that he could have used to move to New York, he spent on traveling to his see his old posessions. In the end it opened his eyes. Instead of running from his packrat lifestyle his journey made him realize that it was useless to move to New York just because things had got difficult for him. He realized that he should finish doing amd stay grounded in Iowa to finish his graduate study. Now that I think about it, his journey was not as useless as I first thought because this was a lesson learned and it prevented him from making a mistake that he would have later regretted.
