I’m not a hoarder. I’m not very sentimental either. I don’t often keep things unless I am using it.
If it is past its due date, it is most definitely thrown out. If it is just sitting pretty, I rather give it to someone who has value for it.
Come the end of the year, I do like to take stock and clean out anyway. Any earrings I no longer wear or if a butterfly is missing, it is remade into something new, or goes in the out box. Clothes, shoes, make-up, nail colours – oh my god don’t let me start on the cutex!
Then I move on to the kitchen cupboards, medicine drawer, files, data, storage.
With every item going in the box or bin, I feel lighter and lighter.
I don’t know why this makes me feel so good. It’s strange to feel good getting rid of things, isn’t it? Then again, I dated a guy once who felt good doing dishes. That’s strange!
