Everything Must Go

Marie Kondo asked a simple question.

“Does this spark joy?”

Some things of mine once did. Some no longer do. Some never did but stayed anyway, for excuses that I'm no longer making.

Keeping objects past their season is not loyalty. It is merely a delay. Delay on money, for one. But it’s also a delay on joy. It's a delay on space for what's meant to be. Understanding this concept as a life principle has already made my life so much better.

I am selling everything I own.

Not a “spring cleaning” type of cleanout.

Everything.

Furniture.

Clothing.

Objects collected across versions of a life.

Items purchased with certainty, then carried long after certainty expired.

Pieces meant to protect a future version of me who never quite arrived.

Selling everything is the end of old versions of me. Its an acknowledgement of letting go of who I no longer am, while becoming myself again, but better this time.

There is certainly a level of grief in this. Anyone pretending otherwise is lying. Objects hold memory. Letting go feels like erasing some of those memories.

However, what remains after releasing all of these items matters more than what is listed (& yes, you can find it allll on depop). When you release, you make room for what is aligned. You have to let go of ALL the weight of what’s holding you down. And clothes certainly are weight.

So I’m taking all of my inventory and turning it into space.

Then,

Space turns into ROOM, openness, clarity, possibility.

Space, openness, clarity, and possibility then turns into forward motion.

Then, forward motion turns into momentum.

After momentum, then you're on a winning streak :)
