I have been going through my closet a little at a time randomly and getting rid of things I no longer wear. However, as Steve has pried dresses I have never worn from my hands I decided that my life is much like my closet. I have a problem with letting go.
I keep a t-shirt because an ex-boyfriend gave it to me. I have a dress because in the off chance I ever go out to a formal dinner I'll be ready. I keep the hoodie from high school because it reminds me of simpler times. The thing is: they're just clothes. If I don't wear them, and I haven't, then why keep them in my closet. Chuck them and make room for new things I will wear. Plus it gives me an excuse to justify another shopping trip!*here is where I tie it in to my life*
As with my clothes I tend to hold onto things way past the point I should. At a certain juncture I just need to let things go. I'm not talking about anything in particular but giving myself a little friendly reminder. It isn't fair to me or the people in my life. Actions of others in the past I need to forget and learn that it hasn't necessarily set a precedent for how new people will treat me. Every new relationship and journey is different. You just have to take it for what it is, and be willing to explore it without all the baggage from previous people's actions.
"Forget about the people from your past, there is a reason they didn't make it to your future."
