On NPR I heard a quote from the book The Selected Works of T. S. Spivet:
"Adults were pack-rats of old useless emotions."
How true!
As I weed through my closet and discard that dress that I will never be thin enough to wear comfortably again, the sweater with a missing button, the skirt that really doesn't "go with" anything else, the blazer that has shoulder-pads, the jeans that are too short or too long or too snug, the blouse with the shadow of a stain ---- along with all these items that I might, just might, want to wear one day should go:
the slight from a friend ages ago
the failed resolution
the embarrassing faux pas
the consternation of unwise decisions
the fears of what might be
the sawing anxiety of should-have-dones
.....etc, etc.
Toss!
Vacuum the whole area!
Clean spaces make breathing so much easier.
