RE: You Kept It How Long - Vlog 8
Hey @gillianpearce! Loved this vlog; as an aside, every time I see one of yours, I think, hmmmm, should I? And then it passes haha
Clearing out can be so difficult, but so freeing at the same time. After my 24 year marriage was over, I cleared out our big house, downsized, then cleared out again after Brian and I met. Together, we moved 3 different times, until our big move to Mexico...So listen sister, I get clearing out haha. Joking aside though, I also understand emotionally clearing out and it is much more difficult. Good for you for doing it, and it sounds like you were long past the emotions, but the clearing out kind of solidified that for you as well.
By the way, since I've being in the full swings of menopause, tears come to me all of the time, for apparently no reason whatsoever :)
Glad you loved this one @lynncoyle1. It's my favourite so far I think. I was ready to blub as I didn't seem to have control, that morning as to what would set it off but thankfully I didn't.
It wasn't so much the blubbing that I would have minded but the thought of that awful face I make when I'm trying not to that I was afraid of.
I'm liking how well this video has gone down. It is inspiring me to clear out more and it's so gratifying having people join this conversation with me.
Sounds like you're a bit of an expert at clearing out now. Until I moved here I never lived anywhere longer than three years so I didn't have to much stuff to carry around. But since moving here the years have gone by, two children have added to the emotional attachments and we have two huge garages, plus my attic that is my art studio.
I'm chomping at the bit to get rid of stuff though.
In answer to your question "hmmmm, should I?" it's an empahtic "yes"! 💙
Aw yes, the ugly crying face we are all blessed with haha
It seems the more space we have, the more space we manage to fill!!
And time will tell..I'm not yet ready...but one day I suppose I will be. Thanks for the encouragement though!
