After my last long-term relationship ended, I gave back almost everything she ever gave me. At the time, I was just terribly hurt, and it was likely just an aggressive move on my part.
About a year afterward, still recovering, I went through a purge of my home. I tossed everything I hadn't used over the past six months. Not only was my place cleaner and less cluttered, it brought on a lightness of heart. It was healing; liberating.
Things mean far less to me now. It's experiences and relationships that I yearn for.
I hope you find the same lightness in your post-purge days ahead.
I understand. I can imagine how liberating it can be!
Yes, I am feeling the same lightness. Thank you for sharing!
