It is almost the end of the of the year andi it's time for me to do some closet culling. Fortunately, it's not a huge undertaking. I was trying on a beloved dress with sentimental meaning. TBH, it was a little too tight and short for my comfort level. On the other hand, I'm having a hard time letting it go. Am I keeping the dress not because it is desirable, but perhaps discarding it is undesirable? Of course, it's more socially and environmentally responsible to limit how much garbage I create by holding on to things. If I am to commit to culling the closet, I guess I will have to remove meaning from the dress (and other items) in order to learn live without the reassurance of its presence.
