I get overly
attached to inanimate objects.
I do. It has
really been a problem for me in the past. When I was a little girl, my family
sold the van that we had gotten before I was even born. For some reason, this
van, shitty as it was, was very important to me. Before I even allowed it to be
sold, I took a picture of it to keep forever.
I’m the same
way with sentimental stuff like flowers and cards. Seriously, I keep flowers
and cards long past the socially acceptable time to keep them because they mean
something very personal to me. It has nothing to do with who sent me the card
and everything to do with the fact that I was given a card at all.
I’m the kind
of girl that if you handed her a used tissue and jokingly told me “keep this
forever” I would.
So to work on
this habit that is dangerously close to hoarding, I’ve decided to do a kind of
life cleanse and get rid of the junk I have been toting around for the last
several years. I think I’m going to dig through all the crap I have lying
around, bite the bullet and throw it away.
I might need
a very big trash bag.
Challenge to
my Readers:
Sometimes we
hang onto stuff a lot longer than we should. Not that I’m saying we don’t have
the right to be sentimental, but sometimes we just need to clean house. Clean
house and see how it feels.
