just donated like half my closet and i feel like i’ve been through a spiritual purge. like the clothes saw too much. they held my bad decisions. they absorbed every single one of my breakdowns like emotional fabric softener.
the donation bag is 87 lbs. i am 87 lbs lighter in trauma. the bag is making eye with me from the hallway. it knows what i’ve done…

I need to do a closet exorcism. I’ve got so much I should just donate and get rid of. The clothes I keep saying I’ll fit back into one day. The clothes I bought because I like them, but will never realistically wear them. Need to do a whole purge, smudge the freed up space, and start again. This time, more practically and more me.
The bag knows what you've done and, perhaps, it is proud of you! For you are freed from these memories, and the memories are freed from you, and people will were these clothes as blank slates and, perhaps, atrribute new, colorful memories to it ^^
So, I guess there's a chance that "Thank you", said the bag. Isn't there?
oh god don’t make me cry over the bag. not the bag developing sentience and gratitude. not the bag whispering “thank you” like a war general who’s seen too much and is finally being laid to rest

But perhaps the bag is, and you finally did let it rest. Perhaps the tears are also needed, to evacuate the sorrow and purify the heart from darker thoughts. Perhaps it is renewal for both you and the bag. Life is a little bit more beautiful when you love it enough to treat it like a life, isn't it? But who am I to know, but your local little idiot? ;p
