Morning Musing on Throwing Out What No Longer Serves
Luvlies, Good morning. How was your weekend? That’s nice. I spent the weekend purging my home as if I was planning an estate sale. Maybe it was the weather that inspired this completely overwhelming need to throw everything I own in the trash. Maybe it’s down to failed exploding rockets destroying the sea, or wars happening around us and I have the need to be mobile… I don’t fcuking know. It just all had to go.
I started taking my ADHD meds after 7 weeks of being cautious around my recovery. Immediately lists were created, closet doors were opened, and laundry was whirling away. By 10am Saturday morning, there were piles on the floor and everything had been tried on. I couldn’t believe how much I was getting rid of. Photos of items to be sold were taken and a very sizeable donation pile of office clothing and fast fashion I will never wear again was formed.
Did I feel relief? No. I felt anger. I hate the fact that I let fast fashion and low quality items into my life. I NEVER shopped fast fashion when I lived in Europe. I went to smaller boutiques for my garments and bought well made clothes that were affordable.
The concessions I’ve made to live in this feckless city doesn’t sit right by me any longer. Quality is not a premium in Canada (Quebec excl.), it just no longer exists. Prices at Canadian Zara are comparable to when Fidelio would have a sale. Most of the items in the donate piles were clothes from brands that will never be in an estate sale. This purge reminded me to stick to the rules I used to live by and will abide by again:
Only bring items into your home that you love, need or can resell.
…and that’s time. Still here? Leave your thoughts down below.
See you tomorrow Luvlies!
xoxo Luv Laney Luv
