Have you ever went through your closet or storage room and discovered all kinds of things that you never use, but are still reluctant to part with them? I know I have experienced this recently. My husband and I were doing some Spring cleaning – room by room we went through our stuff with the intent of getting rid of clutter.
While doing this I discovered that I attach memories to stuff, and even if the item is completely useless and will just remain on the shelf collecting dust, for some reason it feels like I would be violating some kind of fundamental law by getting rid of it. My husband, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to allow himself to become attached to things at all, which makes it really easy for him to get rid of any unnecessary items.
