The backpack monologue from "Up in the Air" is an ideology that really stuck with me after seeing the movie. Although George Clooney's character obviously uses his philosophy as an excuse for emotional detachment, I think there is something to even relationships weighing down your life. Like having 1500 facebook friends, or inviting "500 of your closest friends" to your wedding. I've found that in most areas of life (even in ways most people don't want to admit), quality is more satisfying than quantity. I'll be lightening the load of my backpack over the next week as I pack for our move.
