I thought about doing that, then I realized I don't like owning things. Especially things that are large and difficult to move. Besides my clothing, books, computer, chef's knife and Le Creuset dutch oven, I could easily drop everything I own without much concern.

I have a massive comic book collection that graduating, moving home, and then moving out made me despise. Not the most baller lifestyle item, but it's pretty great if you like Vertigo titles.

You're still quite young aren't you? don't you think you might want to move to the other side of the world when the opportunity arises?

Doesn't sound good, bro. drkshdw stuff (jeans, at least) are pretty grungy looking, usually requires similar stuff.

If the opportunity arises for me to move to the other side of the world I would be in a situation where material possessions don't have any actual value and were disposable. I'm 21 years old and I have different priorities. I received a couch from my company and it's probably my most prized posession at this time along with an alpaca throw and some llama wool pillows we make and really it's all beautiful. Makes me want to invest in baller ass furniture and nice art and have a "home" instead of having an apartment.

yah, DRKSHDW washes are too out there as far as jeans goes. You should buy some Attachment ones instead since they are "tamer" for lack of a better word.

These are dope, what are they? I've been really into the idea of creepers lately for some reason. I kinda hate the collection, but these creepers from Prada are pretty neat:

I just don't see the point of living with all Ikea and having nice electronics and nice clothing. Why not invest in nicer sheets and dishware? Gotta step the game up, bro.

This is pretty much my ideal scenario, at least, at this stage in my life. I've had to move twice in my life and it's been a HUGE pain ********** because of the absurd quantity of things I own.

Nicer sheets and other things that add to your personal comfort, I can get with. But I'm good with the type of dishware you'd find at Target and ****; not going to drop jaws, but still nice looking.

don't invest in nice dishware, you will break it

i'm in a similar situation, at the same time, i live in a rented apartment and it's not in great shape, some of the wall colors suck, and i'm like do i really feel like spending the time to renovate something that's not even mine?

could do with some rugs and things, but ...
