I'm going big for day 1, my Yamaha electronic drum kit. I purchased this about 3 years ago, because it was something that I've always wanted. I played it constantly for the first couple months then the neglect slowly crept in. About a year later, a baby entered my life and what was once my playroom for my things had become a nursery. My beloved drum kit turned carpet anchor was packed away in the attic due to lack of space. For nearly a year it sat collecting dust and cobwebs until it finally saw daylight again when I moved into my new house. I eagerly cleared a space and set it up with all the intentions of playing it, but again, neglect set in.
It was a hard decision to let this go, after all, this was the "it"; the thing I had always wanted. I guess that further enforces the reason behind this little minimalism adventure; things are just things and there will always be an "it" to want, I just have to make that "it" something meaningful and not just another thing.
I do have to add one side note on this item. Unlike most items that I will be removing instantly (ie. trash or donate), this one I will have to sell due to the monetary value of the item. So, I will disassemble it and pack it in a box and actively try to sell it as quick as I can, hopefully by the end of the month.
