part of the landscape

it's easy to get used to what you see.  to what is familiar.  whether it is useful.  or beautiful.  or helpful.  or not.  it is just there.  and you become accustomed to it being there.  so much so that you don't notice it....even if it's detrimental.  or dirty.  or painful.  or messy.  sometimes it's stuff.  sometimes it's people.  and you just....settle.  it's easy to keep on the blinders and ignore the obvious fact that there is no benefit in keeping that 20 year old blanket that you've had sitting on the shelf in the same place for 8 years.  it has a place.  it's a habit.
i want to choose my landscape.  purposefully.  i don't want to hold onto things just because i'm used to seeing them.
people....wellllll, that's a little different.  but still, it should be more than habit.
off to work some more
